A BROKEN HEART

1 minute read time.

My beautiful brave pop lost his fight against cancer tonight and died at 8.30. Sadly he got very distressed and had to go into hospital which i didnt want but had no choice.

I spent all day with him and it was soooo horrible to see him as distressed as he was and me so helpless to do anything. At half seven i felt the need again to tell pop that i loved him more than the world and that hes been the best pop anyone could ask for, he wiped away my tears and said thankyou for everything and i love you. Pop asked me to leave at 7.40 on the promise that i would return in the morning so i agreed. I asked the nurse to ring me if he wants me and said i would be back soon in the morning. I got a call at 8.30 to say he had gone.

I cant get over how quick it was and really unexpected although we knew it wouldnt be long i just didnt think it was going to be that quick. My heart is broken into a thousand pieces and although i know he isnt suffering now i just wanted to be with him to the end but someone had other ideas and i feel so guilty. So what do i do now, i feel as though my right arm has been cut off. Ive never felt as bad as this before and have a physical pain as if my heart is actually breaking.

Life can be so cruel at times but im glad my pop knew how much he meant to me and that i wouldnt be where i am today if it wasnt for him. He was a true gentleman and never complained about his cancer and fought it so bravely. I just wish i was as brave because right now i dont have the fight or the strength to get through this.

I LOVE YOU POP ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL AND THERES A PLACE IN MY HEART WHERE ILL KEEP YOU FOREVER AND EVER UNTIL THE DAY WE MEET AGAIN.

    Also, I forgot to add - how lovely for your Pop to die knowing that he'd raised a fine young lady. Everything you are is a testament to him, try and remember that in your darkest moments.

    Id like to echo what susanmw said - I think your dad was a true gentleman to the end - he knew his time was near, said what he wanted to say to you but wanted to spare you his passing.

    I too have heard often that its as though relatives wait til we leave to pass - they love us so much and it stresses them to see our distress

    Dont feel guilty, this is the last thing your dad would want.

    My sympathy to you and your family

    kind regards
