Deal all, i only came across this site in August after finding that my 60 year old father had advanced liver cancer. During the past four months i have found a lot of comfort from reading such positive stories and seeing such support everyone gives each other. I have only joined in a few times, asking the odd question here and there and have been so overwhelmed with the kind responses.
Sadly on new years day my wonderful father passed away quietly at home with myself and my mother sat with him. While expected the shock seems so unexpected and the last two weeks seem to have passed in a blur. Today however i've found myself coming here again to read new stories and for the first time in what seems like ages found myself smiling.
I'm so very grateful to everyone who has supported me, offered kind words or just posted their stories so i could learn. I wish each and every one of you the very best for 2009 and the future.
Kindest Regards

Hi Lisa,
I'm so sorry about the loss of your father, it must be awful for you and your mum. I'm sure you have so many happy memories of him, and hope that keeps you smiling.
My condolences are with you and mum at this very sad time.
My heartfelt sympathy goes to you and your Mum at this very sad time, Lisa. Be kind to yourselves at this time, and glad you managed a smile when you got back on this site. Even though, sadly, your Dad has gone, we all are still here for you.
How kind of you to write and express appreciation at such a sad time. I'm sorry for your loss and hope you and your mum will support each other through this difficult time.
My beloved mum passed away on 10th December 2008 following diagnosis of lung cancer on 25th September 2008 - so I know what you mean about the 'expected' still being quite shocking. I am still struggling to come to terms with how quickly everything happened, but I am just starting to look back over happier times like this year when she went to stay with a friend for the week of her birthday in July and I sent her birthday cards to his house to surprise her...I am so glad I did little things like that.
I am so sorry for your loss and I totally sympathise and empathise with where you're at right now - not much comfort I know, but I am thinking of you at this very sad time and sending lots of hugs and kisses through cyber space to you and your mum.
My condolences on the loss of your Dad, even when expected the reality can be hard to take. Sending you a big hug and one for your Mum to let you know you are being thought of at this very sad time.
