Hi All My mother passed away in March this year after a fourteen month battle with cancer of the oesophagus. I also lost my grandmother (my mothers mum) 8 years ago after an eight week battle with cancer. I was with my mother at our home when she passed and still struggle with the concept that I will never see her beautiful smiling face. Nothing can prepare us for the passing of a loved one and there is no manual on how to cope afterwards. Would be happy to hear from anyone who has lost a loved one. Sammycat
