I lost my dad to lymphoma cancer 2019

Hello everyone I lost my heart mum dad to lymphoma cancer last year 0ctober 1st a day I can never forget.He was only 57 and survived 2 years after diognosis 1st year he was ok would drive go out just do his normal usual stuff we had very high hopes that he would get cured unfortunately the 2 year he started to get worse and the doctors tried everything on him but sadly nothing worked and everything came to an end.

 

I don't know how I am surviving to be honest with you everything has changed and turned upside down I miss him too much everyday I have got kids and that is the reason I'm trying to cope otherwise it might f been different I'm lucky I still have my mother but I get nightmares that one day I will get news about her and that will finish me off.Everytine I see my mum I can't cope and always Have a brake down becuase she's sad and did everything for my dad and now she's left alone and it hurts me I just want everything to go back to normal again and I know it won't and it's killing me inside.

 

life is not the same anymore and although I have to move on and put a brave face on for my family it's hard becuase my world has been shattered I'm not happy anymore I miss my dad too much I don't know what to do.

  • I'm so sorry about your dad Mariom.

    The journey with grief is a difficult one but you're not alone as many of our members have sadly lost their parents to cancer as well so they will know what you're going through and I'm sure some of them will offer their support and advice to you soon.

    I'm not sure if this is something you've looked in to already but some of our members have found bereavement counselling quite helpful. If you'd like to find out more just click here but in the meantime be kind to yourself Mariom and remember that our community are here for you.
