It took me a year to really even start to feel anything, as I was so intent on trying to be strong from my younger siblings and get through my exams (I was 17). Now I'm finding everything so so hard. Everything seems impossible without my Mum around...

    Hi I lost my father on Saturday; he was suffering from 3 types of cancer, lung,skin and bone but pretended he was not as bad as he was. He was strong until the last. I knew he was going as I had several dreams and the way he spoke to me, we resolved all issues and I knew he loved me. He spent his...

    My dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer in 2009 and given 3 years. His chemo & radiotherapy at the end of that year went well, but in October of 2012 he began to get blood in his urine and we knew it had returned. However the doctor and hospital delayed the diagnosis...

    Hi Bekki, really sympathise, my mum died in November 12. It really does hurt and keeps biting you in the backside at the most awkward times.

    Nikki,must be really tough. Most of the notes on here refer to overwhelming grief, sadness and tears, but yours is about strength for yourself and others. I can only speak for myself, but I didnt have a dad to stay strong for when mum passed in November, he died, 34 years ago when I was 10. Its easy...

    Deepest sympathies Becky Jayne. I lost Mum in November and had expected months or years based on prognosis, but she had had enough, decided not to fight and two weeks after entering the hospice for a rest, passed away. The pain and tears kept coming for me for several weeks, the arrangements, sorting...
