my dad passed away this morning 

Hello lausey,

On behalf of all of us at Cancer Chat, I wanted to express my condolences. I can imagine this will be a difficult day, but we're all thinking of you. 

All the best,

I’m so sorry to hear this. You’ve been a support to him through these dark times and he will have felt that love you have for him. I hope this gives you some comfort. This is a truly horrible disease and no person or family deserves to go through it. My thoughts are with you xxx

I am so sorry to hear this. It has bought a lot of emotion back for me when I lost my Dad in January. My only solace was and still is he is no longer suffering xxx

Thankyou all for your kind words, I was holding his hand all night as was my siblings and mum we didn’t leave the hospital day and night one or all was with him, he passed with just my mum we had briefly left the room i think he wanted it that way to save us from seeing him pass, but my mum is a nurse and said it was the most peaceful passing she has ever seen, it doesn’t seem real i think I’m still in shock it’s been hitting me in waves all day I feel completely broken, I have an amazing family and I know we will pull each other through but the world for us now will always have an empty sad space missing iv never seen pain in somebody’s eyes as I did my mother’s today it’s utterly heartbreaking, we have made some really wonderful memories the last 6 months which will be forever cherished, I told my dad everyday that I loved him I’m thankful I had the opportunity to do that, I will think of you all on your past and present journeys this chat has helped me express emotions which I fear I would have suppressed to protect my family, I will still check in on you all please give the person you are on here for a massive hug today and tell them you love them xxx

just wanted to check in on how you all are xxx

I’m so sorry to hear about your mum, how is she doing ? And how are you ? Xx

how’s your dad doing ? Xxx

We lost dad in July, it was very peaceful and me, mum and my brother were with him. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to reply, I’m still finding it hard to accept if I’m honest. He was a wonderful man, as many of his friends, colleagues and our family keep telling me.

Although it was a really difficult time and I’d give anything to have him still with us, the time we had after his diagnosis was very special. I told him all of my hopes and dreams and I’m finding strength slowly. Remember a good life is not measured by the length of time a person was here, but the impact they made in their life. I think one thing everyone on this forum shares is that we were losing someone that had a huge impact in our lives. I hope this gives people some comfort, even if they are losing hope xxx
