  • Hi Andrew

    really sorry to read of the loss of your Mum, a terrible time for you.

    i understand the anger, I can still feel mine from so many years ago. For me the anger will probably never go away, I recognise that and just have to live with it. I have found I have never got over the bereavements in my life, the depths of despair are always able to punch their way back into my thoughts, especially in the very early hours. I have eventually accepted that situation and it became manageable and slowly I was able to get on with life. The past I cannot change no matter how many hours I spend reliving those darkest hours. I do know my two wives who died of cancer did not want me to become another victim of the disease that took them, so by battling on each day I’m getting my own victory over this disease.

    take care, there is no fixed timescale for what you are dealing with, it is your pace

    Cancer may affect my body, but I won’t let it affect my spirit
