Need a hand hold, I'm on my own

[RosieProbert]

I'm sorry for being needy when the world is literally on fucking fire.
My favourite uncle is dying. He's only 18 years older than me and he's meant to live forever. He's literally been the one who I know will have my back and literally fight my corner of needed. I'm trying not to cry until my son goes to sleep. I'm absolutely cut up. I know this is a small problem in the world the way it is but I'm alone as my husband is in work and it's too late to call any friends.

Hand hold x 💞

Hi Rosie. I’m here. Do you want to tell me about your lovely uncle?

I’m sorry x

It’s not needy. Your world is on fucking fire too as you are losing someone so wonderful.
Sending hugs.

Im Really sorry @RosieProbert

theres nothing I can say to make this better for you. Except I’m sorry and one day the pain will be bearable.

I know it can be mixed losing an uncle as sometimes you don’t feel you have the right or deserve to feel it as strongly as other family members around you.

iv lost two uncles while they were still quite young men, they deserved many more years and I miss them to this day, they both left a hole in my life when they went.

you aren’t alone though so many of us have been where you are and I hope you find support here and in real life.

Hand hold too OP.

Thanks for replying. I'm just sat here and crying.
My uncles name is Ian. He's only 50 but seems about 40. He's been there my whole life, like a giant. My brother had cancer when I was young (he's fine now) and it was awful. I can't cope with this. My uncle is very wrapped up in my experience with my brother being ill. He was so good to me. I just can't believe he's going to die. He is literally Hercules in my eyes

Sorry, 60. He's 60.

So sorry Rosie. Will be praying for you and Ian tonight, and I hope he is comfortable. What a lovely relationship you have with him.

And he looks like bob Mortimer and he's funny and I've looked up to him my whole life

Thank you all so much

You chat all you want to

So sorry to read this about your Uncle. You clearly love him very much and he sounds like one of life’s good guys - supportive and fearless
I will be thinking of you and your lovely Uncle

Oh @RosieProbert I’m sure you’ve been such a blessing in his life.

Sleep tight, Ian xxx

It’s not a small problem and don’t apologise for being so sad. Of course you are. So sorry OP. This sounds so hard for you 😢

This .... A million percent x

Thinking of you 💗

Thank you thank you thank you
I just don't want this to happen.

I've heard that the grief is a sign there's love. You're devastated because you have an amazing uncle and lots of love, which is a good thing (but horribly sad, of course). And it is a big deal for you, don't apologise.

Bless you 🥰🥰

I'm so sorry about your lovely Uncle. It's very very hard losing someone you love so much. Sending you a hand hold and a big hug 💐

Your Uncle sounds a lovely Man @RosieProbert
Hope you get some sleep tonight.

When my brother was sick (he was 16 and had cancer. I was 19) he would literally drop everything to help despite having his own family. My cousin is getting married next August. How will we cope? I know people cope but this is not fair. He's one of life's really good people who has given and given and given. So much unfair and sad shit has happened. And I know I keep saying it pales in comparison to the lives of others right now in the world but this is my world right now and it's shit.

@RosieProbert

Rosie, your uncle sounds gorgeous, I can imagine him looking like Bob Mortimer, I'm upset for you too and I don't even know him. Sending hugs and prayers.

Thank you all so much

This is a great place. Thank you. You've kept me company 💐
