Dad died from terminal pancreatic cancer yesterday morning

My dad 52 was taken to heaven yesterday morning. 

He battled terminal pancreatic cancer for three months. 

He is at peace now and no longer suffers. I miss him and love him as do the whole family. 

A brave warrior, an inspiration.

My first baby is due anytime this week I cant wait to tell her about how great her grandad was. Sharing memories.

The pain is unreal and its going to take time. 

If there is anybody who wants to talk, or ask questions about our journey please reach out, I know how it feels to feel like your the only person going through that upside down world, however your not and talking about it, asking questions really helps.

 I will answer any question big or small. I'm so sorry if your going through watching a loved one fight and I'm so sorry if you have lost a loved one. 

Cancer does not define that person, my dad had a great 51 and a half years and an awful three months. I know in my heart he is in a beautiful place, no pain, no fear, no suffering. Only pure peace. Lots of love and strength. Amy x

  • 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.

  • [@Debbie51]‍ how do you cope. My father in law (of 17 years), has been told he has pancreatic cancer that is inoperable and aggressive, and cannot be treated. He is in so much pain and was seemingly fit and well 6 weeks ago.  I don't know what to do for my wife and children, they are all very close.  We don't know how long we have, it is tough.
