Dear Lizbeth, a close friend of mine is going through something similar to you right now. Her daughter is at the pallative stage of her cancer. She is living with her, her daughter’s husband and their 11 month old twins. I know that my friend said it is trying sometimes as her daughter can be difficult to live with, on top of that she is looking after the babies so it is a very difficult time for her. I know that she ***** time away just to regroup and get away from it all so it sounds quite normal what you are going through. I don’t think any of us can appreciate or understand what it is like unless we have gone through it or lived it. It is different for someone to go and visit for an hour or so as we then go back to our own life. However, to be continually in that environment must be so challenging for you. I think the anger thing for the person with the cancer is normal as well, as my friend’s daughter is like that as well. Although she has been having lots of pain and that obviously has an impact as well. One thing I would suggest is spend as much time as possible with your little Grandson as it is amazing how the little ones can lift your spirits. I will remember you and your hubby in my prayers. Look after yourself Lizbeth as this is a very emotional time and grab all the help and support that you can to get you through!!! One day at a time my sweet lord…
