Feeling lost and alone

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, and hope that others who've come through similar experiences will pop along to comment. 

Hey your not alone if you need a chat people are here. Just wish they had some sort of private message to help people xxx

Thank you its the times that the grief blindsides you when you least expect it that I'm finding hard to cope with..

I cried at ice-cream today... dad loved ice-cream..

Would be good if we could all make a support network group chat or something you have to let your emotions out when ever you need to easier said than done I hide it alot. But hits you sometimes 

My condolences to you. My husband passed away on the 23rd June after an almost 2 year battle with bowel caner. He too got sepsis 4 times. The doctors were amazed how well he pulled through the first 3 because on the third bout he was very poorly and they thought that would take him but it was the 4th one along with his cancer progression that finally took him. He beat his cancer back in January 2022 and I asked if post surgery chemo was needed and they said no because he was clear and was not necessary and then in May the same year 5 months later it had returned. Further sessions of chemotherapy made him quite ill and at one point it was withdrawn completely because of kidney damage. I am to this day very bitter that they decided not to go ahead with post surgery chemo because as far as they were concerned they got it all and it wasn't necessary and I feel that my husband may still be here had they acted when I asked them but at the end of the day they are seemingly the experts so you are going to take their word for things. Take Care

Hey there,

So sorry to hear you feel alone but I promise there are lots of people on here who feel the same including me. I lost my mum 6 years ago and it feels like yesterday. She had Pancreatic cancer and only had 6 months from diagnosis. She was everything. So full of life. I lost my dad in April and miss them both terribly. Feel alone like you say and lost too even though I am not really young I feel lost without them.

I clung on to the fact that at least we had dad. Is there any groups you could join? Sometimes there are grief groups or something like that? I joined a mental health running club. I still feel alone alot. All my friends have both parents still. I feel so cheated sometimes and its hard to stay positive. I try to do little things.

I am always here if you need to chat but please know you are not alone. I come on here and just read comments sometimes and it makes me feel less alone as other are going through the same.

Sending you a virtual hug xx

I'm sorry to hear this, I lost my dad on 22nd june and can relate to your story, we weren't given much time at all, a few days before we knew he was at end of life...he had stage 4 lung cancer whichpread to his bowel in the end.  Fortunately my dad wasnt in any pain as was drugged up on morphine etc and docs even said he looked comfortable but I'm the same, I can't seem to get his last few breaths out my head, if you ever want to talk I'm here x

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear dad. I feel like we are almost soul mates as I lost my husband of 28 years the day before your dad passed. We both feel lost and scared, I know. Life will never be the same but positivity breeds positivity and through our tears we must be thankful for all the wonderful times we enjoyed with them and everything they taught us. I know they would be devastated seeing us in grief so we must somehow try to look forward. Some people never get to experience all the joy that we had with our loved ones, so if we can celebrate all the good times and take joy in all the happiness around us it will help us to cope. Sending big hugs and lots of encouragement. Elaine.

Hello

I resonate with your feelings of being alone. I have no family. My mother passed away February and my world remains shattered. I am 35 years old and feel cheated of having my mum with me. I attempt to keep busy everyday to occupy my mind because if I stop I just break. My heart is forever broken and no one appears to understand the pain I feel. Life continues on for everyone around me whilst mine feels like it ended the day I watched my mum leave. The images in my head haunt me. I can’t see how my life continues without her in it. I don’t feel I have much at all now. Please know you aren’t alone in your feelings. Inbox me if you’d like to talk xx

I feel your pain. You are not alone.

We all thought my dad was responding well to chemo, he had colon cancer. Then he got so weak and couldn't tolerate it, not sure what changed.  He declined rapidly and I watched it happen right before my eyes.

It hurts terribly. I was just talking to my dad, then he was gone. It just made.a week.

This is a great place to let it all out. You are not alone.

Sorry for your loss.

We are here.
