My step-father passed away last monday. We had the funeral yesterday which thankgod is now over, it was very hard. It's strange because my thoughts are so geared to hearing him & the noises associated with him that I still think that I hear him. It's an awful disease. ... View more

Hi, well, I'm new to this website & my step father is about to loose his yr long battle with cancer. We are all devistated. I'm finding it easier to talk to & confide in strangers rather than those close to me, I'm not sure why.. I'm exhausted. I'm so sick of crying & being upset. Today I told myself I was going to have a tear free day - it sort of worked! Didn't cry as much as yesterday... I'm so worried about my mum.... I guess most people on here are in a similar situation to me. Anyway, thanks for listening. Bridie ... View more

mums cancer

Hi Gail, I'm 27 & about to loose my step dad from gall bladder cancer (he has basically been my dad). I can't believe it, 3 weeks ago I got married, I was so lucky to have him walk me down the isle, now we are making funeral preperations... It is devastating to see them so sick & even worse to see they have accepted death as a given & want to go. I'm having trouble dealing with it too, the mountain looks unclimbable. I wonder if the need to cry all the time will subside. I am told it will. I'm so worried about my mum, I need to get her thru it more than me... Thanks, Bridie ... View more
