Losing Someone to Cancer

This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.

I'm so sorry for your loss Jackie...cancer is just a bad word...my mom died of it and my dad....now I wonder if I will someday, but I try not to think on it.....

I lost my husband, Paul, to Colon Cancer 4 months ago.  My Father and Mother also died of cancer a little over 10 years ago.  I am thinking they need to quit finding a cure and try to find a way to keep people from getting it to begin with.  Once you have it, life sucks until you die.  I miss my husband so much, he was the love of my life and nothing will be good again.

Barbara -

I'm sure you know that anger is part of this process that I wish no one would  have to go through ever.  Last Sunday was 7 months since my husband died, and Father's Day is going to be hard not only for my daughters, but also for me.  He was such a great dad.  I think it's okay to acknowledge that your brother's house is now your house; that doesn't mean you miss him any less or your are not thinking of him every day.  And if all you can do is cry with us, so be it.  You are where you are meant to be; this is a journey and I think if I take it just one step at a time, one after the other, eventually I'll get to where I want to be.  Hang in there.

Living without my brother will one day become normal to me....that thought makes me angry. I always refer to where I live as Richie's house, because it is. Well, I was talking with my Aunt the other night and I called it my house. My Aunt thought it was great that I am finally calling it my house, I on the other hand, am so upset over it. I don't want anyone to think that I am just accepting this. I always want to miss him and I always want this house to be Richie's. 10 steps forward and 20 steps back. I wish I was at a point where I could offer advice and help people through this but all I can do at this point is cry with you. Cancer Sucks!

My grandma died on June 9 of lung cancer.  I came in a minute after she passed.  Tomorrow is her memorial.  For more details, check out my blog.  I also lost my mom this year (January 23) to a sudden heart attack.  What a life! http://spiritspout.blogspot.com/

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
