well after my previous post guys it breaks my heart to say that dad lost his battle yesterday in fighting the infection caught after chemo. He declined by the hour and we didnt know until yesterday that the lung tumour was covering part of the heart. I dont know how to deal with the death of dad as its my first experience my heart is broken my best friend gone and way too soon. the only thing I take from it is that dad is no longer suffering and no more connected to all those horrible tubes and machines. a good man taken way too soon unfortunately. thank you all for your kind wishes throughout dads diagnosis 9 weeks to the day since diagnosis - very short to deal and accept all this. xx

I am so sad to read your post. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I would imagine that you will find it very difficult to deal with. You need time and slowly you will be able to remember the fantastic times you have had with your Dad and how lucky you have been to have had him in your life. The pain will slowly become bearable. You will always miss him but you will be able to smile again. Take each each day slowly, with lots and lots of love TAD xxx

Hi Tad, I lost my dad in 2010 and my Mom last year, so, I feel your present mental situation by my heart. God, the almighty will obviously take care of him in the heaven. Take care.

Oh my love, my heart goes out to you, I know how you are suffering, and it seems like no words can take away the pain and you will never get over it. I lost my Dad a long time ago, it was very unexpected and he was only 64, younger than me. I can assure you, the pain does lessen, I still think about him most days, and often relive the good times and memories I am left with.

You can take comfort in that your Dad is no longer suffering, and, if you are a believer, that he has gone to a better place.

My thoughts, love and best wishes for you and your family,

Take care,

Christine. XXXX

So very sad to hear this and I know you must be totally devastated. Praying for you to have strength, to help you through this ordeal. Losing a parent is terribly difficult at any age.

As time goes by, I hope you will be able to look back on the happy times.

You did your very best for your beloved Dad, he was able to leave this world, knowing he was truly loved.

Love and best wishes

My deepest sympathy for you. I lost my mother last year but it is important to remember all the good things and put the bad memories away. It never brings them back but leave a place in your heart for them always.

Be well

So sorry to hear your very sad news. It will take you a long time to find some kind of 'normal' after such a tragedy. I can't think of anything worthwhile to say to you at the moment, just to hope that eventually you will be able to come to terms with your father's death. xx

Sorry to hear of your dad's passing, Dcryan. But if you remember the good times together, he really hasn't gone too far. He'll always be there.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die!

I am so sorry to hear your sad news my thoughts are with you.

I lost Mom 2 years ago the first 6 months was hard sorting out her estate no time to turn around and I missed her so much, now life seems a little better I still miss her but somehow seems different.

It helped me to remember the good times and we are always hear for you take care xx

I don't know what more I can say to you - I lost my husband ten weeks ago & things are still very fresh & raw but I hope, like me, you have good support from family,friends & neighbours. Thinking of you at this very sad time.Love, Helen.
