My poor father

My dad died of oesophageal cancer in 2003, he was an amazing and funny human and has left a massive void.. still to this day!! for others out there who have lost anyone to cancer... talk!! Talk about it, to your friends, your siblings... we havnt talked much 17 years later, I guess we don't want to upset each other nor my mother, I have realised this only lately, 17 years later and I still suffer because of not talking, we zoned in on looking after my mum...  I'm here to lend an ear and to talk about my dad also ️

  • Hello CJ1971

    I wanted to say thank you for posting and sharing your thoughts with others. I think lots of our members here who have lost loved ones will agree that talking, and keeping talking, is an important part of dealing with that loss. Sometimes that can be talking with family and friends. Sometimes it can be easier to talk to someone outside the family such as a bereavement counsellor. 

    I hope that you find the support you need to ease things. I'm sure that your post will be of help to others who find themselves in similar cirumstances. 

    Sending my best wishes,
