My son is dying

This is fucking cancer. He is 2. We are only 3 months from diagnosis and we are out of active treatment options.

I hate cancer, I hate the pandemic disrupting our world and keeping us from people we love.

He has been so tough she and strong and there is nothing more they can do, the cancer just keeps coming back.

I would give everything to keep him

I'm crying for you and your family and your perfect little boy. The world is so unfair. I wish I could say something to make it better. I'm sure you have I'm all the love a mum could and he had a happy life. I know this doesn't make it any less unfair. I can't imagine how you feel. Sending love xxx

I'm sorry for your loss. There are no words 💐

It's a shame you didn't make it out of the hospital. Home is where your heart is and it sounds like he was surrounded by so much love.

So very very sorry for your loss. I always like (odd word sorry) to wash my patients after they have passed, it feels like the right thing to do, a kindness, what their family would want for them and a way to help them maintain their dignity. For you a way to take care of your gorgeous little boy and because you of all people will have known how to do it best.

Can't imagine what you will be going through but you'll remain in my thoughts. A candle is shining bright in our house in his honour.

Oh blindspots - I'm so very sorry.
It sounds as if he couldn't have been enveloped in more love and care.
I am thinking of you all and sending my love.
I like curious's idea - I'll light a candle for him as well tonight. Your sweet boy.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 26/01/2021 18:11

so sorry to read this @blindspots. It is heartbreaking and heartwarming to read of how you and your loved ones washed him. What a beautiful thing.

I'm not in the UK but I will have a candle lit tonight, and will look to the sky to see if I can spot a new star. Hugs and Flowers
