All my mum had ever wanted was a grandchild and unfortunately she died 10 weeks before my sister is due to give birth. Mum...

    My dad passed away on Monday 6th of January 2012. On Tuesday I picked out his coffin and on Wednesday we buried him. I comforted people offering me condolences and stood over him as they lowered him in to the ground and covered him with soil. I feel devoid of sadness but I can feel myself trying to restrain...

    Thank you for this thread. It's such an important topic. I am not a spouse, I am a daughter. My Mom died of lung cancer in August, and my Dad is so sad it's heartbreaking. I have been writing a blog of our experience. It's inspirational and positive and may help other families. Best...

    My thoughts are with all of you going through this. My dad has just died- on the 19th- and it was a real shock to find that what the doctor said was a torn muscle was advanced metastatic prostate cancer which had spread to the hip (and fractured it) and spine. The last time I spoke to dad was in July...

    My dad died in July 2010, I thought I would be devastated, but I wasn't.
