My Daughter Rea
We lost our beautiful daughter Rea on 14th December 2016, she was 22 years old and due to get engaged to her boyfriend on Christmas Day.
She was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome last August and she was due to have a bone marrow transplant this month after finding 3 possible matches, but after a visit to the hospital in November we were told that her MDS had turned into Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and needed to start chemotherapy asap.
She was admitted to Liverpool Royal Hospital on 28th November but unfortunately contracted pneumonia and the antibiotics just couldn't fight off the infection which delayed the chemotherapy and she deteriorated very quickly.
She was our only child and amazing in every way.....I want to think if all the happy memories but every time I close my eyes I can only see her struggling to breath in ICU and we are both not sleeping and struggling to come to terms with our loss. We feel that we have let her down after promising her so much after her treatment.
I know things will never be the same again and I have to carry on but I have never felt pain and emptiness like this, even after losing my Dad.
I feel so envious when I see people with their grandchildren knowing I will never have that joy.
Please if anybody has experienced this loss I would welcome any suggestions to help ease our pain.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
