Hey everyone,
I have just joined up and I thought I would tell you a little about why I am on here. I have lost 3 people that I am grieving for but the main, and by far teh hardest to cope with is my Nan.
Me and my Nan weren't like a normal Nan and granddaughter. I lived with my Nan from the age of 5 and spent like ALL my time with her. She was more like a Mum to me, a best friend.
I watched her suffer from lung cancer and was there with her from her very first diagnosis until the moment she took her last breath. (about 18 months in total.) She passed away at 11:45pm on 14th June 2007 and my world collapsed.
I hate to say it but I am still not recovered, no where near. She was my Nan, my Mum, my friend, my housemate, my everything.
I miss her with every breath I take and my life feels incomplete without her...

Then, a month ago her sister died. I wasn't particuarly close to her but it's still such a shock that she went. It was teh first person I had lost since my Nan as well which didn't help.

Finally, last Monday someone I know killed herself a day before her 17th birthday. She was so so young. It's difficult to come to terms with...

Anywya, sorry for boring you.

Hope to be around quite a bit xx

Dear saml:
I am sorry for the losses you have suffered recently. I know how much it hurts, having lost my husband in March of this year. Please be loving to yourself by not apologizing for your pain or your need to express it. You are entitled, that's what ppl come here for, yes?
