Subject: Missing Grandad

On may 1st i was horrified to here the news that my grandad had died. My grandad had had a tumour in his brain and was treated with chemotheropy to make him better... But unfortunatly it was to late. We just came back from my cousins leaving party and my mum and dad were told to get up to the hospital but b4 they got there it was to late. He had already passed away. When they came home my nan rushed into my arms and we cried together. Me and my grandad were so close, we had such a strong relationship that most people would wish to have. It hurt so much and it still does. Iv suffered alot this year crying my self to sleep, depression, and when i think getting through it it does'nt work. But i no sum day i will be strong enough to fight the tears, i no hes safe and happy but its the point of never seeing him again that hurts the most. U will never no how much it hurts unless it happens to you, which i wish it never does. I no people tell me hes happier where he is but i wish he was here with me, everytime we were near each other it was like all bad things just dissappear. I am now doing as much as i can for a cancer charity to help future patients to stay alive longer.

Take care keep smiling and when u need to cry do it don't lock it inside youll just get worse trust me i no.

Rest In Peace Grandad Derek

Luv Stephanie xxxxx Your Loving grandaughterxxxx

Subject:My Granddad

I know how you feel. My granddad died on March 1st. He had lung cancer. I was expected but it was a shock when he died. Everyone was crying except me. I was so close to him but I felt so far apart. IEveryone seemed to cry except me. I was in shock! I try and do everything for cancer because sometimes it can't be treated so it helps. Thanks. Write bac if possible. Cat xx

Subject:Hi

I lost my Dad to cancer & now my Grandad is dying of it. It is so hard to see someone suffer like that, & to go on every day knowing that they've gone & won't come back. I know how you both feel. I support Cancer Research UK & have organised a few fundraising events for them - this has helped my own sadness as I know that my efforts will help other people with cancer. The MacMillan nurses are also really good, as they offer home support for patient & family, & are all really lovely people so I like to support them too. I have difficulty speaking about how I feel, especially as my Dad has been gone a couple of years now, but I try & speak to someone before I feel too bad, & once I have I do feel better. Keep posting both of you & Take Care, Han xx
