Hi Shane.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened to your dad. It's truly heartbreaking and I hope you are finding ways to cope. My mum died in Sep this year. She went In for a endoscopy and was kept in hospital. 2 days later we were told my mum had 2 weeks to live. 2 weeks exactly she passed away. My mum and dad were also on holiday a few weeks prior and although she was tired we never thought that anything like this would happen.

I feel exactly the same way about my mum and I feel so numb and heartbroken that I just cant pick up the phone or pop round to see her. 

I can't really give any advise on how to get through this as everyday is a real struggle but hoping with the help of our families we can start to feel less numb and in time maybe be able to get on with our lives again.

Hi sorry about your loss .

my dad was also diagnosed in November 2017 with terminal lung cancer. My dad was told without treatment he would have 6 months and with 12.

my dad didn't want any treatment at all.he was also fine until the 6th of October (so he said).me and my mother were his main carers.on the 10th October it was if he knew he was going to pass away the things he was saying. That evening he passed away in our arms.

to me it doesn't seem real it's as if he has just gone away to work and will be home soon.

i also only live minutes away so I'm with my mother most of the time.

i think our body is still in shock and reality hasn't hit us.

Hi.im sorry for your loss mate. I just lost my dad 3 days ago. I'm too sad to write about it at the moment but I came on here to seek some solace . Just want to say the podcast called the griefcast is a wonderful thing...just check it out. It might help a little.

Hold tight.

Hi

I really feel your pain. My dad was diagnosed with the exact same thing in 2013 and passed almost a year later in 2014 in what would seem like very similar circumstances.  It's such a difficult time .... sending love your way at this very sad time. 

Thanks for the reply’s. 

It helps with the pain. Knowing I’m not alone with the way I feel. 

Todsy was tough. As my mum has just gone and bought a new dog. 

I feel it’s too soon. And that the rest of the family seem to be moving on and I can’t. Be like them. 

Hi 

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad.

My Dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer on 17th May 2018. Without treatment they said he had 6 months and with treatment it may give him extra time and ease his symptoms. He had radiotherapy which made him really poorly. He passed away on 6th November 2018 less than 6 months. I'm heartbroken and get told time is a healer but 2 months on I feel totally empty (this is crazy I'm crying writing this). We did everything with Dad . Saw him every day over the years and Dad and I would go to Everton matches with our season tickets together. I can't go to matches now and miss him so much. I miss his hugs, his laughter, his jokes , everything about my wonderful Dad. I keep busy working to try not to think about missing him and that's ok but at weekends it's hell without him. I just want to talk to,my Mum too about missing Dad but she has Alzheimer's and struggles to understand .

I'm rambling but just wanted to talk. 

Miss you so much Dad and can't cope without you.
