my dad

Hello Mae180901 and welcome to the forum, so sad to hear about your dad and what your family have been through. I lost my mum to lung cancer and like you, it was the worst time of my life, and the enormous hole in your life, as you know, you are left with is impossible to fill especially at family times like Christmas and birthdays. Mae my mum died in 2006 and i still get upset at times thinking about her, for you it's been a lot less time and with the added heartbreak of not being able to say goodbye.it is clear you really loved your dad and, like my mum, was your best friend too always there for support, advice, a shoulder to cry on or just a hug, Mae just before i lost my mum she made me promise that i would be ok, and i am, and I'm sure your dad would want you to be happy and have a good life. If you search "www.maggies.org" you will find a cancer charity that supports both people with cancer and family members and you can just drop in, no appointment needed and the people are wonderful. Mae i hope you give them a try because as i now have terminal cancer it would break my heart to think those i left behind would be in so much pain for so long and I'm sure your dad would feel the same. time really is a great healer and so is talking to people who understand what you are going through, please take care, Eddie
