Bellasnana. That reduced me to tears. I am thinking of a friend.
There is a young man now lying in a hospital bed, waiting for death to come. He has been given weeks to live and a hospice place is being sought for him. He is never going back to his bedroom at home. A month ago he thought he'd be able to live with his illness, and so did his Mum, but doctors broke it to them that his life will end soon. And he cried. He is lying there knowing he hasn't long and it is so wrong. He is such a decent, hard working, loving young man.
I cannot think of his mother without feeling my insides twist and tears springing to my eyes. I do not know what to say to her. I feel pain for her situation. She is in Hell, pure agony. It is a parent's worst nightmare.
My deepest sympathy to all of you who have lost a child. A dear friend lost her daughter in her teens, thirty years ago and she hasn't stopped grieving that loss, ever. She says people imagine she is 'over it' but she says she is changed for ever and hurts every day.
Life can be so cruel.
