Sad news

Hi

Although I'm not a member of this group I just wanted to offer my sincere condolences on the recent passing of your dad.

It sounds like he had wonderful care whilst in hospital and it must have been comforting for him that you and other members of his family were able to sit with him and hold his hand.

I'm glad to read that the members of this group were a support to you.

Thank you so much ️

HI Cathy, my most heartfelt condolences.  You are not alone I share the same hurt that you feel for your Dad.  My dad was diagnosed on the 3rd of July this year with PC of the tail of the pancreas with mets to the liver.  My dad had just turned 53 years old, was running 5k's around 3 times a week.  He died on the 30th of July.  I felt that I had no time to talk to him about his diagnosis and I tried to avoid it.  I would always take pictures of him but I became a bit scared of him not wanting to take photos of him or cuddle him as I was scared he wasn't going to be here soon.  Lockdown has made matters particularly difficult which you will have experienced too but I can only take comfort that we were all able to be there for him in the end like your were too.  My dads dad also died of pancreatic cancer at 59 and my dad always struggled with his grief for his dad.  I asked my dad how I would manage to get through this when I had watched him struggle.  He told me that  I would never get over his death but I would learn to live with it and that he wouldn't of been the person he was if he hadn't of changed his life round for the better after such a trauma.  Its horrible and not a moment will pass by that you won't think of yoir dad, but although he may not be here physically he will always be here spiritually.  

You're not alone, I feel your pain Cathy,

All my Love, C
