God Bless your family and you John K,I lost my dearest dearest friend to breast cancer that went to liver cancer and it was one of the hardest things I have ever been a part of and I was one step removed.I was not her primary carer although I did I hope play an important part in her battle with this insidious disease.My friend didn't show anger or any real emotion towards anyone not even her husband and this was also difficult,it is very hard to know what to do or say and there were times when we all just wished that she would lash out or yell or even blame someone however this never happened and that also hurt.My dear friends adult daughter[21] actually spent the evening with us after the funeral and confided in us that because of no reaction from her mum she thought she may have died angry at her.I guess what I am trying to say is that I'm not sure if there is anyway that we cope better with.You have every right to feel the way you do and the hurt cuts deeper than anything we can ever imagine feeling.Stay strong and don't let this insidious disease take anymore than it already has.My mum always told me we lash out and hurt the people we love the most because we know they will bounce back and still be there. You are in my thoughts and prayers X ... View more
