lOST MY DAD TO CANCER

Quote From: 2nephi

my dad died on july 9 of a heart attack and my family and me are still trying trying to handle it as we all miss him so much..  it is so hard but with each other help we are getting thru it and God s help also.  I still cry alot sure but we will make together as a family and with Gods help and guidance we can get thru this trial in our life if we only ask of him.  as each day goes I know we can have happy memories of him and talk of what we did with dad and the car rides we did when we was little.  we will always have that.  also pets can have a great hold as a family member also when they die also as our cat died 2 hours after dad died. a blood went to his back legs and the vet said there wasn't nothing they could do.  so we had to put him down. he had a heart problem also.  Love comes in all sorts of ways.  just have to look for them......they may be tiny,or big,but love can come from anywhere.  2nephi
I feel for you on the loss of your father as I have lost my own father back in May of 1997 to cancer. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer a couple weeks before Christmas of 1996 and it rocked my world. My dad and I did alot together and were very close and when we lost him six months later it was very hard on all of us. He ended up having pancreatic cancer also and they operated on him and a routine 2 hour operation took six hours because they had come across problems and had to call a specialist in before completing the surgery. I miss my father everyday and it was like I said hard. I think about him everyday but I have moved beyond it, however the source of moving beyond my fathers death is not helping me cope with it. I lost my dad in 1997 and three years later on October 29, 2000, I myself ended up in my mothers shoes, having lost my husband to a car crash at the age of 47(him) and I became a widow at 38. To this day I have not been able to move on with my life. I feel like my life is over. I cannot even help my daughter with the loss because she was 14 when he was killed and my son was 12.  I want so much to try to help my daughter but am at a loss because I did not lose my dad until I was 35 and I don't know what my daughter is feeling she won't talk about it and she doesn't want to talk about it and pushes it to the back of her mind.
