Very sad news. Only 14 years old.

RIP Ben

[ummmm]

I know. And I've just read his parents died in a murder/suicide tragedy.

[Mamyalynne]

God Bless Ben, so sad.

[Lie-in King]

Terribly sad, RIP Ben.

Poor Kid.

[gness]

So sad. x

[tiggerblue10]

Just awful, Ummmm. Poor little mite.

I found out today that my uncle who was receiving treatment for lymphoma has had his treatment stopped due to complications with his kidney. He's now going into a hospice. I feel so sad because I can't even go and see him.

[gness]

I'm sorry to read that, Tiggs. I do know how you feel about not being able to see your uncle...take care. x

[tiggerblue10]

It's horrible, Gness. I don't know how long hes got and just want to see him. Ive been crying on and off most of the day :o(

[ummmm]

That's awful, Tiggs, must be so hard x

[gness]

It is horrible, Tiggs and yes it does make you very tearful. My mother contracted Covid during the first lockdown. I was restricted to my own county in Ireland but even the UK family couldn’t visit. Waiting for news was so hard when what you really want to do is sit close and hold their hand. X

[tiggerblue10]

I spoke to him on the phone last Friday and couldn't understand what he was saying. I don't know if it's the drugs or the cancer affecting his speech.

I just feel so sad and I've started crying again...don't think I'm gonna get much sleep tonight

[anneasquith]

Oh tiggs , isn’t life so hard sometimes ? I hope your uncle is well looked after and comfortable .

[tiggerblue10]

It is hard. My dad says he coping but I can tell he's not. Seeing his younger brother like that must be devastating. He was allowed to visit him in hospital yesterday.

[ummmm]

It could well be the drugs, Tiggs. They can make people very confused.

[lady-janine]

Tiggs how sad for you and family. Hope and pray no pain suffering for him.

[tiggerblue10]

Thanks to everyone for your support xx

I hope the pain relief is helping to ease his pain.

[pastafreak]

Too much pain and tragedy for one so young. Very sad.

[pastafreak]

Oh, just read about your uncle tigs. I hope he is as comfortable as possible x

[tiggerblue10]

I feel helpless, Pasta. I can't bear to think of him in pain :o(

[marval]

How sad, RIP Ben.

So sorry to hear of your uncle Tiggs.
