I hate cancer & EVERYTHING that it means & does to those that we love!! My husband had cancer 7 yrs ago & made it through. I had hoped to NEVER ever go down that road again. When I had to watch helplessly as cancer destroyed the most important man in my life - I wanted to take his place. I wished and prayed for that in fact.

I lost my Pop on 10/17/2009 from liver cancer. We found out on 7/16 & 3 mths later he was gone! By the time that he was diagnosed , the cancer had completely destroyed his liver & their was never an option of chemo/radiation. He was not a candidate for for those or a transplant b/c he had suffered a head injury 12 years earlier. Ian Duvenage - I HATE those days!! The days when your head & heart cannot comprehend what is happening.

Hello Ian Duvenage Well put I think you nailed home the bottom line and to the point. From here on out we know we can look forward in being with our loved ones again. Heck I am 45yrs.old my family is gone. I am all alone. For me now most are on the other side.

Today has been another one of those days where it justs sinks in(just when you think you have been through the worst of it) that No, she is not coming back in 3 weeks or 3 months or even 3 years she is not coming back PERIOD!! It's absolutely and totally is beyond any comprehension and no explanation or theory can justify the loss of not having her here with me. If one loses a limb or organ the body can adapt to the loss and you can even learn to function again without that organ or limb, but the mind and the brain cannot comprehend the loss of it's collective soul. It makes me realize just once again how lonely it is not having her around anymore, I miss my wife!

Hi Crystal, Losing someone dear and near to you is one of the most devestating experiences one can have in your life. I lost my dearest wife on the 19th of April this year due to pancreatic cancer, and still everyday is a battle to get through. My grand daughter is 1o years old and it is remarkable how she has handled the loss of her nan, she talks about her the wholetime especially is she sees the tears in my eyes, so believe me your daughter will allways remember her nan, no matter how old she is. And you will be happy again, your mother would not want you to be sad or sitting in despair, just remember she has gone on a journey which we all eventually have to go on and she is now re-united with all her long lost friends,relatives and animals. Please stay strong and remember grief is natural and part of the healing process, do not think of your mom as being gone forever but rather as gone to sleep at the days end. It doesn't make it any easier or better but hopefully brings some peace to your heart.
God bless and stay with you and your loved ones.

My mom was only 55.. she died of complications from breast cancer and lupus on Jun 28, 2010. I hate this and I want my mom back. I feel like I'll never be happy again. I want her around for me and my daughter.. my girl is only 2 and won't remember her wonderful grammy. I wish God would help me understand why this happened.

I am 53 years old. I am a mother, a soon to be grandmother. Thank God those parts of my heart don't hurt. It is the daughter in me that is sorrowful. The sister in me that shares the hurt. Our mom, Rose, died on June 8, 2010 around 12:10pm quietly in her sleep. I was at work. I had been at her side all evening. We prayed together, we listened to music together. I gave her hugs and kisses and told her that we all loved her very much. I rushed home from work. Mom had passed, and the room was still filled with her warmth and her generous heart. I held her hand, stroked her temple tenderly and whispered we love you. It's ok I kept saying. Mom was gone.
She was a doctor, a teacher, a mother, a grandmother. She was 89 and would be 90 in October. The photo was taken May 25, 2010. She battled Parkinsons, Severe Osteoporosis and finally Breast Cancer.
I am so fortunate to have had a most wonderful, tender, caring, loving mother. I am also so fortunate to have had the gift of being near her and seeing her everyday, taking care of her and giving back to her the love she gave us all these years.
When I feel the sadness and tears well up inside of me, and I let them flow, I know that it is the testimony that there is a very real and
well loved part of my heart that will never be the same again. I miss my mom. always.

Hi Rhonda,
I am so sorry about your Dad =( The numb phase is weird, but I think its better than when reality sinks in, unfortunately. I lost my mom in Jan and suddenly after all the chaos of being at the hospital and hospice wore off and I was glad she wasn't suffering in pain anymore, it hit me......she's really gone =( Its so sad b/c your Dad, like my Mom, went through all that treatment and it still ended up coming back. The fact that it moved to his lung was probably also a MAJOR contributing factor. I didn't know this but lung cancer kills more people that all other cancers combined, so once it moves to the lung, its not good. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that had moved to her bone. They told her it was incurable from day 1, but I don't think she had the heart to tell us that. We thought there was hope for remission, but before she was to be moved to hospice I asked her doc about curing her and he said he had told her he could never cure her =( So sad. My mom was 55. She almost made it to the 2 year mark after being diagnosed, but not quite. I am devestated beyond belief, but i am glad that horrendous battle that she fought so hard is finally over. Her poor body just couldn't do it anymore and she didn't want to let us down so it was hard for her to give up. LIke you, I look back and wish there were things we would have done differently, but like you say nothing can be done now......I am here if you ever need a friend or a crying buddy :(

I am so sorry for your loss Carolyn. That is the same type of cancer my mom died from....lung that spread to the bone. Sadly, its a very painful cancer and it does move quick. We were blessed that my mom lived almost 2 years after diagnosed, but it was 2 years of pain and chemo for her so not happy years. That is sweet about your Mom. I bet you are right and they are up in Heaven together now. I will keep you in my prayers. I am sorry you didn't get to see him as much as you wanted--families can be weird--but you know he knows you love him.
