Hi Amyh92,

I have just read your post, and firstly want to say I am so sorry you have just lost your Dad to this awful pancreatic cancer!

I lost my darling husband to this in July 2018, he had just turned 51 years of age, myself and our son who was 25 at the time only had 2 weeks from diagnosis to his passing with him. His cancer showed no symptoms till it had almost covered his liver!! Whether that was because he was a very fit and otherwise healthy man I will never know. I just wanted to send you some love and support as I know how difficult it is for you to have lost your Dad, I watched my son see his Dad pass in front of us which was really difficult as he reached for my hand and had a heart attack in front of us! 

We are over 18 months now and I thought I was slowly moving forward but this isolation has made me realise I now miss him even more than ever, my son doesn’t live with me so we really are trying so hard to stay strong!

When your little baby arrives, you will have a new life you can focus on, and I really do wish you all the best with being a new mum. Your Dad will be looking down at you feeling so proud like he did when you were born. Take great comfort that he will always be with you. I know this grieving process will be hard especially at this current time with arranging the funeral but stay strong for your baby.

Stay safe and strong, sending you lots of love and hugs.

Hi Debbie,

Thank you so much for your message. So kind and comforting of you.

I'm deeply sorry to hear about your husband. I hope your darling son is coping, I'm sure he will be with you by his side.

Nasty disease and attacks rapidly doesnt it.

Our little treasure was born 30th of March. Shes a pure joy in our lives. Sad family cant hold her at the moment. I've had emotional spells about my dad since coming home, I cry and release. I miss him. 

His funeral is the 20th of April. The wake will be later in the year when the virus situation has diminished, fingers crossed. We will celebrate his life the beat way we can.

Thank you again for your supportive message.

Hi Amy,

What a wonderful reply to my post Firstly congratulations to you both , she is absolutely beautiful.

You must be so relieved to have had her now under this crazy and difficult world right now. Hope you and your daughter are both well. 

Your dear dad will be absolutely proud as punch for you and he will guide you both through your life together.

 I know you still have difficult times ahead with the funeral and I send you my love and strength for that. 

Thank you for the picture,I am still waiting patiently to be a grandparent one day but I will have to wait I think

You will get through this and will always miss your Dad, mine has been gone for 15 years now and his anniversary date is 2 days before My husbands! So I will never forget him and still miss him. 

My life is a different one now and will never be the same but my husband has left me a massive reminder of himself through my son, which I will be eternally grateful for. 

Please, please stay safe all 3 of you, there will be lots of people queuing for those cuddles before you know it.

All the best,
