After suffering the worst year of my life I have hope and inspiration.
My youngest son died this year after a long hard struggle with cancer. As you can imagine our whole family is still devastated, he left an 8 month old son and a seriously shocked partner.
My DD and SIL had been suffering from fertility issues including 5 very expensive attempts at IVF. The day my son died his sister had just told him she was finally pregnant, one of the last really big smiles he gave.
Yesterday my DD gave birth to a beautiful and precious daughter herself. Difficult pregnancy and difficult birth but so very worth it.
Life seems just a little good again.
I will never, ever get over my DS death and am so sorry that he will never meet his amazing little niece but at least he knew that she was going to make an appearance. Bittersweet times for me but this beautiful little ray of hope will help our family heal I think.
I don’t often post in Gransnet but just wanted to share some good news.
