Yesterday cancer took our Melanie

Hugs to you and Gary. It’s going to be hard for a while. Make sure the kids can talk freely and get some counseling. I’ve been through this as a kid. I’m so sorry for your loss.
 
Wow, how sad and intense! I rarely come to Hangout, but I happened to come today, and I happened upon your thread. I'm so sorry. Cancer is so sad and scary. Sending love to all of you.
 
Daisy from. Another stranger on the internet, I am so so sorry for this loss. It has to be so difficult and isolating and I hope you can stay connected online to just chatter or reach out for however long you need to.

Melanie sounded amazing and hopefully knowing so many people loved her let her go peacefully.

Funny you should mention no brushing your teeth. In Judaism, we sit "shiva" which is a ritualistic mourning and you cover your mirrors. You aren't supposed to get dressed up, out on any adornments or make up and some people don't brush their teeth or hair. The thought is that you aren't thinking about you, you are focused on the departed. Sounds like tea and toast and just being there is best things you can do for Gary and yourself.

Long distance hugs
 
HI:

Such sad news. I am sorry for your loss. Healing vibes across the kms.

kind regards--Sharon
 
I’m so so sorry Daisy, thinking of you all x
 
My heart goes out to you, Gary, and the family.
((hugs))
 
Unimaginable to lose a child. So very sorry for you and Gary’s loss. Take good care.
 
I’m so sorry for your loss and your husband’s. It’s hard to imagine anything more painful for a parent than losing a child - no matter what their age.
 
I am so very sorry Daisys. My heart goes out to you and Gary.

I think you are doing exactly the right things for Gary. Not having to think about food or drink for himself, knowing there is a comforting, loving shoulder to cry on when it hits him are both vital during these saddest of times. Hugs to you both.
 
My condolences to you and Gary. I think it is always especially hard to lose a child, whatever their age may be. You are supporting him by taking care of his needs and letting him grieve in the way that comes naturally to him.
 
I am so sorry to hear that. My heart hurts for you and your family. Praying for comfort and strength to surround you all.
 
I’m so sorry for your and Garry’s loss. Melanie sounds like she was a lovely person. It’s hard to know what the right thing is to do and really, there isn’t any right thing. Just be there for each other and take each day as it comes.
It’s desperately unfair that cancer even happens and that it comes back when it’s gone away and that it happens to good people and not just the crappy ones.
 
@Daisys and Diamonds I am so sorry about Melanie. I cannot imagine the pain you and Gary are feeling right now. So hard to lose a loved one and even harder to bear witness to a loved one's pain.
 
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Breast cancer SUCKS!
 
My condolences to you and Gary. Cancer sucks!

On the home front i burnt breakfast so the house smells like burnt toast - nothing like a bit of nornality

Gary woke up upset but he's ok now

he's asked me to remember to ring the bin people to change the bin and the billing into our name as Melanie bought that for us for his birthday/ xmas present and we dont want Dylon saddled with unnecessary exspensive
 
My sincere condolences to you and Gary @Daisys and Diamonds . I'm sorry for your loss.

It's wonderful how you care for Gary . Please take care of yourself as well. Grief comes and goes in waves, it must be a big consolation die Gary that you are there for him. Hugs across the miles!
 
just got a letter in the mail for Gary to see the specialist in Palmerston North regarding his prostrate, after a blood test last week
 
So so sorry @Daisys and Diamonds <3 what a heartbreaking time for your family. Thank you for sharing with us. And we pray for you and your family that you will feel peace!
 
@Daisys and Diamonds, My deepest sympathy to both you and Gary. Your pain comes thru in your post. I hope you both get some peace knowing you were able to spend time with her at the end. All you can really do is be there for each other and help each other. Please be kind to yourself. Grief comes in waves. It’s going to be especially hard for Gary for awhile. He is so lucky to have you.

I hope you know we are here for you Daisy. It’s a very difficult time and please know if you need to talk there are many people here who care about you. We can’t take this pain away but maybe we can help in small ways. I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs, Callie
 
I send you and your family a big big hug in those difficult times.
 
Virtual hugs winging your way.

She sounds like a real trooper, and very special. I'm sorry she didn't get all the time she deserved with her family, I can tell she loved you both very much and she must have loved her children even more.
 
Sending lots of love and my deepest condolences to you send yours. I think Bruce is sending his love too. Melanie sounds like a beautiful person.
 
I'm so sorry to hear of Melanie's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Gary.
