So I have been having a really crap week this week just no motivation to do anything or go anywhere. It just dawned on me last night that today (30th April) is 14 years since I lost my dad to metastatic lung cancer and COPD.  This is the first year I think I have actually forgotten about it. I have been so busy thinking about Jays passing coming up in June so I am thinking subconsciously this is what it has been about. My dad was a big influence to me when I was growing up and I would go to him a lot for advice on some things he just always knew the right things to say and being the youngest I was a `daddy's girl.` My mum is gone 30 years this November she like Jay passed with bowel cancer only I didn't know that until a couple of years ago when my sister told me. I think my dad thought he was  protecting us by not saying at the time but my sister found out some way. So cancer has been a bit of a b'strd to me and my family and Jay too he lost his dad and brother to it as well. Lovely weather today outside but really couldn't care less and feel that I just have no other option but to just `go with this` until it passes whenever that will be. Take care all. 

  • PattyK, 

     I am so sorry you having, so a crap week. As I think we have all found are how certain days can affect us.  It might be something you forgot but you have the nagging feeling. Last week for me, 9 years since we came to view are forever home, put me in a spin. I know it doesn't compare to yours. So please take care, we all know these days, yet we keep going and hope tomorrow is a better day. 

    Take care

  • I think grief triggers other losses, even those from many years ago. I keep thinking about my parents, 16 years since my mum died, 51 years since my dad. Funny how you seem to miss them more the older you get. 

    I'm struggling this week too. In a big black hole. Sending you the biggest hug; to quote Gary Sturgis 'we're all just walking each other home' xx

  • Thank you Spirit and Ghost. Your replies mean a lotHeartxx
