My Daddy finished his journey on 4th July

[Summm]

After a lot of choices that life gave my father since the May of 2017, he finished his journey on 4th July 2019. With me, my mom, my siblings, being around him more than ever in this time span- he made us love him and back much more than ever. With the little energy that he had a day before his death- im glad he spoke his heart out. He has been a wonderful father and i can not imagine my life without him. Though i am sure, the world he is in now is perfect, bright and very comforting.

To his journey ahead- Om Shanti! 🙏

Hi there,

I lost my dad a year ago July 4th to this horrible disease. It was really a ride and me, my mom and brother were with him during his transition.

You and your entire family are in my prayers. I have been in the exact spot you are in right now. Find perfect peace in knowing you served him until the end. It's what I cling to, to get thru.

[Summm in reply to Tonyland]

Thanks Tonyland. I hope you and your family found your peace too!

[j-o-h-n in reply to Tonyland]

I think by now your DAD has adjusted to his wings and learned how to play the harp. God Bless him may God keep his memory alive forever.

Awww thank you John. I needed that and I sure hope so. Funny, my dads name is John. I still refer to him in the present.

[HOPEFULSPOUSE]

So sorry to hear. Sounds like he was a wonderful father - he was fortunate to have you as well. Holding you close in my meditations and prayers. Namaste.

[Summm in reply to HOPEFULSPOUSE]

Thanks Hopefulspouse

There's nothing like imminent death to get us to focus on the things that really matter. I'm glad you had that special time together at the end.

[Summm in reply to Tall_Allen]

Agree Tall_Allen. Thanks

[Schwah]

I am a father with this terrible disease who has a daughter who like you, loves me and is with me often. I am certain your father felt like I, what a lucky man he was to have helped create a child to continue his legacy and who loved and cherished him. And like I , his greatest wish would be for you to feel thankful that you could be with him and for you to live your life now as best you can. He will be there for you in spirit I am sure. God bless you and your family .

[Summm in reply to Schwah]

Thanks Scwah! I am sure my father would want that... bless you

[Cheerr]

Hi

Summm,

I am sorry for your loss. Be proud of everything you have done so far and will continue to do in honor of your dad. God bless you and your family and give you all the strength to cope up.

[Summm in reply to Cheerr]

Thanks much Cheerr

[Currumpaw]

One of life's greatest gifts, loved ones near when that time comes. Although it hurts to be there while death occurs, your family, his family, gave life meaning and value to him at his time and now, his memory for all of you to continue.

[Summm in reply to Currumpaw]

Thanks Currumpaw. Agree- being around him around the time he was crossing over gives a little relief

[Tippler]

The final destination is the one that counts. I have a daughter like you and a loving son. Jesus is my Lord and Savior and I know that everything will OK with us(your father and many of us). I am not going to miss the many ugly things in this life. May God rest him in peace!

[Summm in reply to Tippler]

Thanks Tippler. Im glad you have loving children.

I’m truly saddened to hear about your father’s passing. His journey here on earth is completed. His eternal Heavenly journey is just beginning. It was wonderful he was able to express his love for you and your family, and feel your love in return. Today (Sunday) I will keep him, and your family in my prayer requests at church. May God bless you all and bring you comfort.

[kick-prostate-cancer]

I am so sorry for your loss. We are all in this group to provide support for each other just as much as to gain information to try to help our own loved one dealing with this terrible cancer. I hope this group did provide you with friendship and support as well as information. You will always have your Daddy in your heart and in your memories.

[Summm in reply to kick-prostate-cancer]

Thanks kick-prostrate-cancer.

Indeed this group was a great support at many levels. My heartfelt gratitude to each and every member of this group for all the words/advice/guidance/support/hope/ prayers/willingness and kindness they ever offered and the admin too for building this up. Bless each and all! Om!

[Zetabow]

Sorry for your loss, he sounds like a great father. Looking back on family members I've lost, it always seems that cancer takes the best of us away. Keep hold those fond memories and special moments, for he still lives within you. This is something I've told both my boys (10 and 9 years), I am part of them and will always be with them.

2 years is quite quick from diagnosis, was he very advanced or just didn't respond well to treatments?

[Summm in reply to Zetabow]

Thanks Zetabow. I am sure your boys adore you for your love and learnings they seek from you.

Yes he was diagnosed advanced metastatic with lymph nodes and bony involvements. Also he didnt respond well to any treatments starting from Hormones, chemo, Xtandi, Lutetium... nothing. The disease came back with an aggression each time.

[Hidden]

Sad. Sending my condolences and love and hugs. God bless you 🙏

[Summm in reply to Hidden]

Thanks cloc

[monte1111]

So very sad for you and yours. Never are there words at a time like this. Hug your loved ones. And then make some memories. May peace be with you.

[Summm in reply to monte1111]

[Collarpurple]

May all the memories help. It’s so hard when a parent dies and not all the words in the world

Will stop the pain😪 For me it was remembering the silly things my dad did and some of things that he said that made me smile and made each day a little easier sometimes when I was having a bad day I would see something out of the ordinary that was just about my dad I keep thinking that’s him saying kiddo I’m OK Look for those signs because your dad wants to make sure you and your family OK

[Summm in reply to Collarpurple]

Thanks Collarpurple for sharing your experience. Its heartwarming. Blesss...

[BadNews4me]

Summm, life is but a journey we all make. At some point we all reunite and I know your dad will be waiting with open arms.

[Kobina]

I also lost my husband June 20th to this dreaded disease! It was totally awful he was diagnosed 2 years almost to the day! The last 6 weeks where the worst days of my life seeing him suffer soooo much. I feel your pain and am sorry for your loss. The only thing now is to be thankful they are no longer in agonizing pain!

[Summm in reply to Kobina]

Sorry to know about your loss. It isnt easy to let loved ones go niether to see them in pain.

Good for them, if ot comes to it but the void left ... is always going to pain.

I wish you strength and perseverance in this difficult time

[j-o-h-n in reply to Kobina]

Dear Kobina and family,

Your poor husband went through a lot of pain in the last two years. His pain is finally gone but his spirit and love for you and your family lives on. May he enjoy eternity knowing that you and your family loved him and stood with him during his fight against his cancer. I went back and re-read your previous post about you crying a river during his last few days.

You will continue to cry but those tears will slowly fade away but your memory will always be with him. During the passing years I still think of my family members who are gone but not as often as I used to. Time heals all wound but always leaves a scar. God Bless you all.

[sujkap]

I write to you while I sit at my dad’s bedside in the hospital at New Delhi , wondering if we are soon reaching the end of the road. Diagnosed with advanced PCa, Gleason 8 in June 2017, we are 2 years down the road of treatment. Firmagon gave a great one year, thereafter Xtandi, Honvan and Zytiga have all but failed. Not a candidate for chemotherapy due to advanced age. With blood transfusions needed every month to maintain his haemoglobin and keep him alive, we are thankful to have him.

The suffering is too great, I hope we will have the courage to let him go when it’s time. Meanwhile I also hope we go home for a few more happy days together.

God bless your family. Peace to all.

[Summm in reply to sujkap]

Thanks sujkap.

I can feel what you are going through.

It isnt an easy road to take but niether to see them suffer everyday.

Please take your dad home well in time, i am sure you all will be happy to be home together.

I am around new delhi too, pls call me 9050313540- if there is anything i could do.

[caretkr in reply to sujkap]
