My dad passed away yesterday and I'm devastated. Although he was a good age 81 he was a wonderful dad and we are all goingto miss him. I found this past week extremely hard as he deteriated quickly and was clearly distressed and very very ill. Think nursing staff were also surprised by how quickly things happened. Very upset that I wasnt with him at the end.

Dear Poppy,
Very sorry to hear about your dad. I offer my condolences. He's not suffering any more so I hope you soon come to terms with your loss.
Dear Poppy, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Please do not feel bad you were not there. (I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason) it may be that you could have been in even more distress had you been present. I hope you will find the strength to cope over the coming weeks and months. I am sending you lots of love and a big hug. Debie
Oh I am sorry Poppy. My thoughts are with you at this terribly sad time.
It is such a devastating disease is cancer, I hate it with a vengeance.
I hope that one day they will find a cure and find it soon. Please feel free to email me if ever you need a chat. I am in the position of mum having Leukaemia and sometimes find it harder to cope with than she does.
So sorry to hear about your loss Poppy. I lost my Dad almost 2 years ago now, he had been suffering for quite a long time, but i miss him still, especially around this time of year. It does get easier though as time passes.
Don't worry too much about not being there, I wasn't there when my dad passed away either as it was all very sudden. But what I do know is that he knew I loved him very much and that's really all that matters. Just try and keep the memories to mind of times when he was well. I am sure this is what he would want - I know i would.
