So, i work with special needs kids. Today i got news that one of the kids is dying. He got brain cancer when he was 5, and the treatment they gave him, kept his brain and mentality at a five year old level. He is now 16, and a few days ago went in for his yearly MRI, and he has another tumor. It is so bad that they cant operate and they cant do any treatment. He has about 2 more months. The sad thing is that because of the tumor and treatment when he was 5, he is special needs, and doesn't completly understand that he is that sick. He tells me all the time that he is going to grow up to be 100, and be big and strong. Idk what im going to do, that little boy means the world to me. he is going to try to go to school when he feels well enough, but he has a feeding tube now because he cant keep anything down. This is so sureal to me right now. We all new he was sick, but last MRI they said he had like 6 years. Im a mess, and ive completly broken down.
I'm so sorry to hear about this young person. It must be incredibly difficult for you and I am lucky to say I haven't been in this situation myself so I can only empathise with how you must be feeling. I wish I had something useful to say but I just wanted to let you know I read your post & I understand where you are coming from. Thinking of you both xxx
In a way I can relate to how you are feeling. During the summer I worker in a hospital with pediatric cancer patients (some of which were terminal) and very sick babies in the NICU. It is very hard to cope when you know someone is ideing and they don't understand. I am so sorry that all this is happening.
If you ever want to talk, PM me anytime<3

Hey this is a really sad story and im so sorry to hear all that you are going through. The young person concerned seems so brave and you also seem like a great carer. I wish the very best to both of you and i may not know you but will be thinking of you both if that helps any. im sorry i cant do more. Your post has really touched me. Here for you anytime. Please PM if ever you feel the need/would like to. It would always be good to hear from you and to know how you/this young genteman is doing. Please keep us updated.
I'm so so sorry. I know it's hard but try to remember he's not in pain now. He can do all those things he couldn't before. He'll be happy now.
Try to concentrate on yourself and letting yourself go through the grieving process. Could you do something in his memory? When my friend died of cancer my counsellor suggested I wrote her a letter, attached it to a helium balloon and then let it go. Feeling numb is ok, it's a natural reaction and when that turns to hurt, that too will pass in time.
I'm so sorry to hear your news and if you ever want to talk please feel free to PM me.
Take care,
*lots of hugs*
