... on 13th October it's 2 years since my Dad passed away from lung cancer. On top of that, on 19th Oct it'll be 9 years since we lost my niece to ovarian cancer. Dad was 88 when he passed, Kirsty (my niece) was only 20 and had a 10 month old baby girl when she passed.
Difficult days ahead for me when I'll be trying to keep my mind fully occupied. I keep hoping that it gets easier, but with the two anniversaries being so close together it makes it more difficult in some ways.

My thoughts are with you, at the end of the month it's 3 years since my mother died.
It must be harder for you, with two dates so close together, and one of them taken at such a young age. It does get easier - it's almost 18 years since Mam died, but she was very ill, and we knew for a long time she was dying. With Dad, it was out of the blue - I found him, and it's that sequence of events that morning which will run on a continuous loop in my head.
I think keeping your mind occupied is a good strategy, Grace, and I hope that in time things will indeed ease for you. I don't think there's a magic formula - we just deal with things as best we can in our own way.

tkachev - I think when you lose a young family member it makes it more difficult as naturally you wonder what they would have achieved had they lived.
