I have just lost my Dad to cancer .

[mommydear]

He was dx with stomach cancer on 1 October 07 and died this morning. My mom and I was with him for the last 3 hours. He was peacefull and went quiet. He was 54 and very active until August last year. Everything happend so fast.

How am I ever going to focus on anything else?

So sorry

54, that is so young.

Sympathy to you and your family

So sorry x

I am sorry, what a sad sad day for you. It must be a huge shock.x

So so sorry

How devastating for you thinking about you at such a bloody difficult time. Take each minute, hour, day as it comes. Don't punish yourself to be strong or brave face on it.

Talk, talk,talk about your wonderful father.
don't bottle it up
don't set up high expectations of yourself

So sorry to hear this my grandad died of stomach cancer last summer x

how very sad for you

take things slowly....

I am so sorry. . My DH lost his Nan on Dec 1st last year the day after she was dx with stomach cancer. We were all shocked at the speed of it too. She was days off her 86th birthday.

how sad so quick and so young too, good that you and your mum were with him.
i don't know how you are going to focus on anything else.

I am very sorry

I am SO SO sorry. All I can say is take things one day at a time. Some days are easier than others. Cry if you need to, go for long walks if that helps and let out all the feelings you have bottling them up can just hurt you more.

So sorry.x

Thats awful. You poor poor thing. I nursed my Grandad (who raised me) through lung cancer, yet I did not have such a short space of time...I knew for 2 years.

Talk on here as much as you can and remember that there is no set time to "get over it", there is no "right way" to behave and you should be really kind to yourself. I found the first 2 weeks left me numb and it crashed around me at about a month.

Its so hard to explain the feeling....Im so sorry

I'm so very sorry

That was very quick......I'm so sorry

I am very sorry for your loss

Am so sorry for you all. 54 is no age at all.

I'm so sorry.

no words I am so sorry for your loss

Hugs for you and your family.

(((Mommydear))) You have my sympathies..

My father passed away nearly 2 years ago, we were estranged and after he was diagnosed his sister passed on an email which I eventually got, I emailed him on Sunday, got a reply on Monday saying we would talk after he had chemo on the Tues/Wed and then we got call on Sat that he had died, after never getting the chemo.

I never had chance to say goodbye or get an explanation as to why he favoured his new family over us.

I am so happy that you got to be with your dad and say your goodbyes.

Time will make it easier to bear, you will always love and miss him, but eventually the happy memories will shine through.

Don't expect too much of yourself, or any other family member, one day at a time.

Plant a tree to his memory with the Woodland Trust.

I am so sorry to hear that
