Recently lost my dad to Cancer

Sadly on the 28th of December i lost my dad to cancer. He was first diagnosed in August.  It was bladder cancer,  he had 2 operations and got rid of his whole bladder.  In late November we were told it had spread to his lungs and he would start chemotherapy in Jan.   After further complications he was in the hospital and it was then they told him he only had 2 months..  That was the 16th Dec.    Sadly my dad only got 12 days...    Personally I haven't ever experienced death,  no one close around me has ever passed away.  Its been a hard struggle and its too painful to accept.   A small part of me still believes that he's coming back.. thats the craziest part

  • I lost my dad in October aged 63 having been diagnosed in august and given 2 months. I still find everyday so hard, some days I cry, some I laugh, some I smile and I try to remember the good times. I think it's easier the more I talk about him it feels like he's still here. So sad especially because he would have been becoming a Granda ! Hope your ok but please confide in that support network around you!

  • Im so sorry to hear that,   I totally understand that.  Some days your fine and then sometimes it just hits you like a train.   Its always on your mind but depending on how you are on the day depends on what you do with those thoughts.   I've had a fair few laughs about things since he passed and sometimes its good but at times its hard not to feel guilty about it.  
     

    thank you for the reply and i hope that you and anyone else affected are getting there,  slowly but surely!

  • My friend bought me a well-being journal, it really helps me when I write down how I'm feeling. Music has always been a great help for me so stick those headphones in and go for a nice walk

    thank you
