My dad died recently

I lost my dad from a brain tumour 3 days ago, he was currently having chemotherapy, we weren't aware it was even terminal and was still treatable, his last MRI was in December where he was told he would need a stronger chemo because the tumour had shrunk in some places and grown in others, he recently lost feeling down one side of his body but not really any signs things were as bad as they were, I got a call on Wednesday morning and was told he had passed away in his sleep

im feeling all sorts of things anger, loss emotions are up and down and I feel incredibly depressed and more than anything so confused how one minute there was hope, how can he have died in his sleep? I just don't get how that happened so suddenly

im so incredibly devastated and heartbroken that a part of me is no longer here and have no idea how to carry on  

  • Hi,

    I can empathise with how you are feeling. I lost my Dad in December a week after he/I found out he had pancreatic cancer. Went from being told it was likely gallstones to it being cancer . Then talk of treating it with chemo to suddenly being told his kidneys were failing and he was dying.  It was so devastatingly quick.  No time to say things you would want to say or even comprehend what was happening. 


    The pain takes your breath away doesn't it. People keep telling me the only thing that will help is time. 
    It really doesn't feel like it now but I sincerely hope they are right.
