Sad day today.

It's 2 years today since my SIL died very suddenly and unexpectedly following routine surgery. He suffered a pulmonary embolism. My heart is heavy for my dd and DGD - she was only 6 when her daddy died - and it's been such a difficult and painful time for them both. My daughter has been amazingly strong but I truly wish for happiness for her again.

Oh, kate how sorry I am for you and your family. flowers I will be thinking of you today.

Ariadne Tue 13-Jan-15 09:00:51

And so do I, Katek! There isn't anything I can say to make it better - grief can ambush you anywhere and on a day such as today it is bound to hit you. Your girls and you will get through this - they have you, and you have them, and I "hear" a strong, loving bond. flowers xxxx

Anniversaries are hard Katek and especially so when you're not only feeling your own grief, but also the weight of emotions felt by your daughter and granddaughter. flowers

Not much to add Kate but just a big (((hug))) from me!! I echo both Ariadne and GA posts flowers

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and messages. We talk about him a lot, there are pictures of him in the house and my DGD and I laugh about all the silly little things he did. We tell her stories about him and this Xmas she was bought a star to name for him. What made everything so very, very much worse - if that's possible - is that they were more or less there when it happened. They were in for afternoon visiting and had just gone to the shop for drinks etc and when they got back to the ward all hell was breaking loose. And that was it.

Sorry to hear of your sadness today, KateK flowers

Mishap Tue 13-Jan-15 13:53:20

This is a shocking thing to have happened - and so rare in one so young. And how dreadful that they were there in all the chaos that ensued. How do they get over this?

I know that your love and care will have been and continue to be a rock for them to cling on to.
