Sara, sorry for your loss and I couldn't agree more.  Cancer has to be cured so no more family members or the cancer patients themselves have to go through such torture.  My husband only lived 2 months after his diagnosis of metasistisized melanoma.  It was a whirlwind of pain, fear, just a world of hurt. The cancer had obviously been growing in him for a year or two without symptoms so when he had a symptom, a blood clot in his lung, it was very advanced.  In a way Im glad he didnt have to suffer any longer than those 2 months even though it was horrible to loss him so fast.  Cancer can be a nasty nasty thing and I sure hope I live long enough to see it come to an end. 

 

thank you for your kind words it means alot  im learning everyday how to deal with the fact i lost my dad...ive never dealt with anything like this and its a learning exsperience and very devestating to everyone..i cant believe til this day that my dad lost his life not to old age but to a disease he had no control over it was very difficult watching him slowly fade away losing weight,his hair,his eye sight,mobility,eating,energy,motivation,sens of humor...it all went out the window when he got sick i miss him more then words can describe and i feel like i have noone to turn too its a very emoitonal roller coaster im on right now

Sara you have people to turn to now, here.  I find it soothing to come here and read that others are getting through the same things  I am struggling with.  It gives me hope I will make it to month 5, 6, a year, 2 years, 5 years.  When you have noone around you in real life that has been through it and you feel alone as I was I couldnt see how I was going to make it to tomorrow!!  Im sorry to have to welcome you to this group, but Im glad you found it too!

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
