Dear @Shezhan

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. There are no words to describe the loss of a child and the pain that goes with it.

Many of our community members here have experienced the devastating loss of a child and will understand some of what you are going through. You can connect with them by using the search bar above. You may also want to reach out to these organisations, which have useful resources and can be of support .

  • Child Bereavement UK support families with the loss of a child. They also support bereaved children. You can call their helpline on 0800 02 888 40.
  • The Compassionate Friends support families who have lost a child of any age. You can call them on 0345 123 2304

For someone to talk to there is the Samaritans on 116 123 which is a free and confidential service and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

I would like to share some Sue Ryder resources which can help you cope with grief.

Hi Shezhan,
Sorry for the loss of your daughter to bowel cancer.
How are you?
I often think time, rather than healing us, can bring more pain. We miss our child so much more as time goes by.
Sending lots of love your way, I’d love to hear more about your daughter if you’d like to share that
