One thing after another.

As many of you know I lost my Dad in May, meaning that I would have to deal with my first father's day without him, and now we're in July which also happens to be the month he was born, he would've been 48. In September is my sister's birthday, and mine will be 17th December and then we have Christmas and New Year without him too. It just seems like one thing after another and I feel like I'm not even going to have time to sit down and actually comprehend what's actually happened. I don't feel normal, I don't feel like I've cried like other people have, what's wrong with me? Did he really prepare me that well that I'm maybe ok with him not being here or am I just completely avoiding the whole subject and choosing to not feel these emotions. I'm frightened for when it will actually hit me, or will it ever?

    hi amy so sorry i know how you feel i lost my mother to ovarian cancer last december she only lasted three weeks in hospital before she passed, my mum was in remmision from breast cancer from 2011, it seems you battle to get over one cancer before another one strikes, or it comes back, the worse thing with ovarian cancer it is a silent disease and you do not get any symptoms untill it reaches a advanced stage where the treatment they can do is only to prolong your life for a bit, it was too late for my mum because it had already spread throughout her body and they was nothing they could do, seven months on i am still finding it hard although my three sisters are coping with it better then i am as they know she is no longer in pain anymore, i think it will take time to get over our loved ones that they have now passed but i hope we get there and think they are watching down from heaven at us telling to get on with our lives and think of the good memories, take care oggi
