Hi, thank you - yes we got almost 9months from diagnosis which was a blessing in itself.  Hi wife and I were there when he passed at home too which is what he also wanted

Thanks Hope - im still in shock I think, it was very sudden even given his prognosis and I know he wasnt ready so will be fuming. He was due to have 5-days radiotherapy next week too

Take care

xx

Thanks Lowe, I'm glad we can hug people now that's for sure - my friends have been a huge support to me over the past 9 months and also in the past 11 days since I lost Dad. Practicing my speech for the funeral at the minute and hoping dad will be channeling some strength my way on the day to help me through it [fingers crossed]

Take Care

So sorry for your loss.My mother has OC,diagnosed in November.It's very difficult to accept but I am just trying to enjoy what time I have left with her,trying to stay strong for her and my dad.xx

Oh bless you, its hard isnt it.  Staying strong, being positive 24x7, it was emotionally and mentally draining (as well as working full time) and looking after my dads wife who had a terminal diagnosis 3months after my dad so overnight although Ive lost my dad Im still caring for his wife as well as all the administration that goes with a passing, the funeral arranging etc am in autopilot but fear I will crash soon.  Good luck with your Mum, as you say, just enjoy every minute of every day with her, make her laugh, I tried to make sure I saw my dads smile every day :)

Hi Ali

Good luck with your speech at the funeral, I had the honour of being able to do a speech at my Dad's funeral earlier this month, I know it can be a difficult time, one thing I did which others may not be able to, was to go and see Dad at the chapel of rest, where I read my speech to him. I figured that if I could do that and get through it, I could do it at the funeral. 

As emotional as it was, I feel as if I did my Dad proud, I am sure that you will your Dad proud too

Hi Lowe,

I've been to see Dad twice so far and I did plan on putting a copy of my speech in his suit pocket just in case.  My 14yr old daughter has already said she will stand with me on the day and take over if I cant finish it.
