Hi everyone
First I just want to say I know this group is for family who have lost someone to cancer but as I have had cancer in the last year I'm hoping you'll except me on this group.
I had cervical cancer last August and since I've not copied well. Fast forward to 10 weeks ago... My mum goes for a to chest clinic to check lungs and lands up in hospital, we thought it was just to get her oxygen etc right again and she would be home again but then weeks she has had covid twice and come close to dying three weeks ago. We have been told she will never recover and will die sooner than later which I've half coped with but then last week my sister calls me and says our dad who I've spoken to for 8 years due to his new wife has been found dead in his bed.
Now I've not fully come to terms with having cancer, loosing my job and now I'm feeling like I can't take no more and need somewhere to talk about the grief for my dad and my mum dying.
If you feel this isn't the place then that's fine X I did ask Tony moderator if I could and he said you may except me so here I am.
Thank you
hi Peace73
I don't often post on here since my wife's cancer while incurable is currently at least stable.
I still though fell the loss of my parents back in 2013, mum was finally diagnosed with cancer at her autopsy - perhaps a bit on the late side but nobody was really surprised while my dad had a different type of long term illness - also not easy though.
One book we had discussed in the past was "Good grief: Embracing life at a time of death" and it seems to get some quite good reviews.
A little while back I attended the funeral of a friend where they were younger than me; one thing the celebrant said was "grief is the price we pay for love" and that really resonated with me.
<<hugs>>
