One year on

Good morning,

I am sorry for the loss of your Mum and the sadness that you now feel. I lost my Dad 9 weeks ago. It’s still very raw and surreal.

He was diagnosed with extensive Small Cell Lung a cancer in June 2021, responded well to his first treatment of chemo and immunotherapy but we discovered it had spread to his brain in December. He started radiotherapy and more chemo but sadly the response wasn’t as good and he declined rapidly from mid January. Like yourself, the lead up to losing him was awful and watching him struggle in the hospital before he passed was cruel. It’s hard to not think about all the negative events at the moment and what he had to go through.

I can’t really offer anything in the sense in making it better for you at this time but all I am doing is taking things day by day at the moment. I can’t set myself to look forward to things at the moment because the outcome of “fun” things is that my Dad isn’t here to join us or experience those things with us.

I hope you have a better few days and sometimes just airing your through to on here helps a little.

Take Care

Yes - I think that’s it. Up until this point I’ve not been open enough about my emotional state. Only when I have had a massive wobble, or any other wobble. I think using this community to share my experience will help. Many thanks for your supportive words! And I extend the same to you too. 

Be as open as you like on here, nobody will judge, just support you. Sadly on this forum we have all lost a loved one and will understand.

Take Care x
