Hi there.

My dad died 10 July 2020 from Glioblastoma, just over a year from being diagnosed with having grade 4 brain cancer. He was always healthy and active; one day he passed out, went to the GP, had CT scan followed by MRI and then delivered the heartbreaking prognosis 12-15 months or 3 months if without surgery. It was a delibitating illness; he went from being 100% mobile to wheelchair then bed bound within 3 months. My dad was the person i've known and spent time with the longest as mum passed when we were little. I am 45 and when dad passed i felt a huge void i simply cannot/don't know how to filll.Today marks one year since dad's passing. I still think of dad daily, some days are better than others. If not overcome by sadness, i think of all the happy times we had. But I still cry often, if not daily almost weekly; when his pics pop up on my phone memories, when i look at holiday photos. When i can't stop thinking about him, i play back voice messages he had left on my phone, and yes i cannot bear to delete all the texts, voice messages yet. I know it will get better, but 12 months on i am still grieving. I accept this is normal, and try my best to cope whenever emotions overcome me.

Like you, I come to this site often, before and after dad passed as I found some of the messages on this forum comforting. Knowing that I am not alone feeling the way i feel. Don't feel sorry for rambling. I can tell you that i am feeling slightly better that I've written this. Do what you need to do to take care, heal and protect that broken heart. x
