@swift- Good morning and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It's very hard when you lose someone but more than that seems unimaginable. I have had several losses within six months of each other and it just is too much. I had to ask myself who do I mourn for? Who comes first? This was several years ago and I still don't have the answer.
You mentioned Ovarian Cancer. I hope that you are getting yearly pap smears and check-ups. Are you? I also lost a sister-in-law to this.
Connect has a group that you might find helpful in learning more about Ovarian Cancer: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/womens-health/

How are you dealing with your losses?

Thank you dear precious merry volunteer, you know how much appreciate your precious fed back, it means much more than words can ever say, I've researched many years especially now after loss of my dearest precious beautiful sis she was only in hospital while , she didn't even see summer sunshine , we had planned holiday if she had strength ... Never happened , it's like someone has cut me in two half of me is missing forever . I've got strength from above to keep helping others seems impossible to but some how i am , had test waiting for results as we so close in age . Know there's hope when we reach out and support others especially those understand what this cancer and any cancer does to families . Hope you able to enjoy your precious day knowing your precious support helps other dear precious ones through difficult times ahead . Know talking half weight of loads we carry . Kind regards swift thinking about all you guy's going through this critical times hard to deal with... Writing helps remember meeting dear older gentle lady in her 80s she was amazing she told me what she had stage 4 , like our family . Let she found changing her outlook on life and diet lifestyle changes helped her , she had family huge support especially when you know they are already suffering and dealing with so many other issues , my son has brain tumour and he is struggling but I know with support and bright outlook on life he will get through whatever we face we will face together. That is the key !!! I see so many going through this without support they seem to suffer more . Saddens my heart i try to reach out to others support them. You need to take time to reflect on your health too. Tc dear precious merry volunteer, HUG from us all
