I lost my Dad nearly 10 years ago now to bowl cancer.

I've never got the help maybe I needed and have come to this group for just someone to understand my pain and just for someone to talk to. 

My Dad kept our family together and when we lost him I was kicked out the family home and don't have any contact with any of my " family " 

I feel whenever I've tried talking to anyone I just get oh I'm sorry.. and end of conversation. 

I don't have any close friends or anyone to talk about it with and because it's been so long , people just think maybe I should of " got over it " 

I think of my Dad EVERY single day and miss him so so much

  • I’m so sorry for your loss. I completely understand how you feel, although I’m just at the beginning of this grief journey. I lost my dad to bowel cancer 3 weeks ago. I desperately miss him, and still can’t believe he’s gone. I’ve had counselling every week since he was told that his treatment wasn’t working, I do feel it has helped so I would really recommend that you try to sign yourself up for some counselling. Talking about it helps too so it’s great that you’ve reached out on here xx

  • So sorry for you you have had huge loss to deal with I lost my Dad 2 weeks ago and it hurts every singe moment. Fortunately I have a beautiful support of family and friends. 
    You should try counselling and also see if there are any groups you could join our Auntie joined a bereavement group when she lost our uncle and she has made lifelong friendships and a great support network. 
    Take care of yourself and keep chatting on here xx

  • Hello YMarie!

    Grief is such a terrible thing and people deal with it in different ways. Some get over it quicker than others some never get over losing someone dear and some learn to live with it. This is a good place to come if you need to express how you are feeling or need help in coping as we all `get it` here. I am 14 months in from losing my husband to bowel cancer and it is just hitting me now. For the first year I was just going with the flow and thinking everything was fine. My older sister got a bowel cancer diagnosis just two months after my husband passed so I had to try to deal with that too while greiving. Thankfully she is ok and her's was caught really early so they were able to treat it quick and she is making a good recovery. Yes please come on here when you feel you need to there will always be someone who can relate to what you are going through and there are the MacMillan phonelines for help also and their chat facility too. Take Care and best wishes to you moving forward.
