My dad was my hero and best friend, 5 weeks ago he lost his cancer battle peacefully at home surrounded by his favourites holding his hands, we softly told him to go to sleep .

he was diagnosed 5 years ago with lung cancer which was treated and went away, later he was told he had kidney cancer in his only kidney and last year was diagnosed with bladder cancer, 7 weeks ago he was admitted to hospital after a collapse he left the hospital a week later with a 6 month prognosis the cancer had spread to his brain, bowel, lymph nodes etc . After a week at home he began to deteriorate rapidly and after 3 more days we lost him !! 
a month passed before the funeral and I was busy helping sort bills,paperwork and arranging the funeral which was a beautiful tribute to my now angel .

but now I’m numb, sad, angry, frustrated and anxious !! There’s nothing left to do but try and be normal and I can’t do that yet easily ! Every time I see a photo of him my stomach flips and I melt into a sobbing mess , any advice gratefully  recieved 

  • I lost my mum on the 19th sept, she was diagnosed with cancer17 days earlier, we too were with her when she passed. Her last words to me was that she loved me. I know thats shes no longer in pain and as people keep telling me, its a blessing she went quick, but that doesnt stop you missing and wanting her back. No one loves you like a parent, its unconditional love and unfortunately some people never experience that love and thats how im getting through this by reminding myself how lucky i was to have a mum like mine and i know she will always watch over me as she did when she was here, as will your dad, the only thing we can do is take one day at s time and tell outselves that we all have to go through this one dsy so lets try to enjoy the time we have because that's what they woukd eant for us. Just take one dsy at a time and dont feel bad when you cry, we are grieving. Sending you a big hug, stay strong and just think todays Friday lets get through today xxx
