I'm new here!

#Grief #Cancers Hi, my name is BewitchingSalmon47. I'm here because my 13 year old granddaughter is fighting aml leukemia. Watching her suffer is the absolute hardest thing Ive ever had to do in life and I just need to know what I can do for her. How can I make her laugh or smile even. How can I make her feel loved. How do I talk to her about her illness?

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is GlacierMoth94954. I'm here because my husband was recently diagnosed with Chronic Myleiod Leukemia or CML, a rare form of bone marrow cancer that never goes away. It’s normally diagnosed in the elderly, so it was quite a shocker that he, who had just turned 40 a few months earlier was being told he had to live with this the rest of his life. He is also a Navy vet. His whole demeanor and personality changed, and I can’t say I blame him. But it brought up a lot of old stuff. Stuff he dreams, screams and cries about in his sleep, but doesn’t talk to anyone about. The anxiety came on, the depression started settling in, the fits of anger too, it’s just been so hard for him. I want to help him, talk to him, something because I’m afraid he’ll start having dangerous thoughts.

Definitely grieving my loss of energy due to chronic leukemia and mobility due to chronic pain,
