Thank you everyone. I've just realised I said I was avoiding the sad threads then created another one.

Sorry. I don't want to bring anyone down.

Words are not enough but I'm deeply sorry for your daughter's and your family's situation.
I hope, whatever your beliefs, that you can find strength to hold it all together, in the knowledge that those who will be caring for your precious daughter will do all in their power to make her life comfortable and pain free.
Take care of yourself too at this painful time.

Oh merlot, my heart goes out to you, I wish there was something I could say or do to help, but I cannot pretend to have any inkling of the hell you are going through. I wish you courage and serenity and have you and your family in my thoughts flowers

Oh merlot how hard for you all. It's horrendous. It doesn't make it any easier to know others go through this. I watched my 16 year old nephew being destroyed by leukaemia. You are right it's so hard and you feel totally helpless. flowers

I'm not able to focus on anything today, even light hearted threads on gransnet (I'm avoiding any sad ones). Yesterday we were told that chemo is no longer an option for DD's gall bladder cancer and she is now under the palliative care team as her liver is failing. I'm beginning to doubt she will ever come out of hospital even though hospice at home is being discussed. The sight of her lovely clear skin and big brown eyes so jaundiced makes me weep.

I managed to hold it together yesterday (almost) but today I'm a wreck. I can't bear to go in the garden because this time of the year is all about hope and planning. I can't bear the view across the fens - too many memories of the children growing up. I can't be bothered to cook, I can't focus on reading or watching telly.

I don't have to visit today because others are going so at least I'm spared the drive. The pain is almost unbearable but has to be endured Poor DH just doesn't know what to do with himself. We thought we'd try planting main crop potatoes but CBA.

I know I must expect this awful helplessness. Others go through it, we're no different but God, it's hard.
