Hello @ScottishMan86 ,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community. I’m so sorry to hear about the deaths of your mum, dad and grandma. I’d like to thank you for starting this thread and for sharing how you are feeling after losing so many close family members in such a short space of time.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that might be helpful.

Hello, I can understand how you feel as I have lost both parents, my husband & a much loved pet to cancer in the last 4 years, it feels to me that Cancer has come in like a tidal wave & took them all, when the adverts come on the TV in relation to showing people getting told the “cancer has melted away” I have to turn the TV over otherwise it starts me in the path of why didn’t the treatment save my family?

Hi ScottishMan 86,
I honestly dont know what to say as reading your post made me so sad for you. The 3 closets people to you all gone is devastating . I lost my dad and gran years ago all withing 5 yrs and last month i lost my elderly mum. Nothing prepares us for the overwhelming grief. My mum was 89 and i was so lucky to have had her to reach such an age but its never enough. We did everything together just like so many on here. Please keep posting as people truly understand what you are going through. Cancer is awful. I am recovering from bowel cancer myself so understand a little . Nothing again prepares you for being told you have cancer.
Will check in on you again
