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.

Hi all. It has been almost six months since my wife was taken by this awful disease and it just hasn't got any easier. I miss her so much I have this knot in my chest that won't go away.

Barb, I understand how you feel.  My heart goes out to you .. I am still struggling some days.  I have come to believe that time doesn't make it easier it just helps us to put on a good face for those around us.  Hugs & prayers!

I lost my husband to colon cancer in August. He was 52, we were married 31 years. It seems like now is just as bad as when it happened. The shock is wearing off. Some times it hits me like a bus.I know I can't keep feeling numb , but it doesn't hurt quite as bad. But the numbness is wearing off.

It's been a while since I have been on this site.  I am sorry to hear of so many more losses to this insidious disease.   Its hard to believe with all the research that a cure has not been found yet.  My heart goes out to you all.  I have found a lot of support on this site and I am sure you will too.

Linda I do understand how you are feeling and I think it is a normal reaction considering you shared so much with your Mum at your first grandchild's birth.  My grandson's partner is expecting next month and my first thought was that this great grandchild would never know Poppa and he would never get to see this little one.   

It will be 2 years this March since I lost my husband and I have to say this past Christmas was way worse that the first one without him.  Maybe because family and friends were around more that first year but they have their own lives and families and seem to have moved past their grief.  I am still grieving, in fact I think now the shock has finally worn off and I miss him more than ever.  Even back to isolating myself, something I was trying not to do, but some days its hard to put on that "happy face" that everybody wants to see .. on those  days I want to crawl back under the covers and shut out reality.   I don't go that far because I can't but I'd like to.

To the friends I have made on here and those I have yet to make, I hope this New Year brings all of us some peace.  God Bless!

I lost my mom to cancer...14 mths after losing my Dad. It will be two years this Jan. Is this normal....the summer before she became ill we were thrilled to be having my first grandchild...her first great-grandchild. We shopped for him and were there the minute he was born. I am now going to have my second grandchild and although I am thrilled,I am also so sad.Its as though its really hitting me that this grandchild will never meet her. We cant celebrate together like the first. Its almost like this is the first thing that I actually realize that she is gone. Doesn't make sense to me, I mean Ive gone through holidays pretty well but this just has me so devastated. She was my bestfriend. My brother use to say that I inhaled and she exhaled. Just wondering if anybody has felt this

I lost both my parents to cancer and am having a real hard time this holiday season. It is my first without both of them, and I feel so lost. I lost my mom Dec 2011 to lung cancer (her third time). Shortly after, my dad was diagnosed with lung/throat cancer (also his third time). Literally a month after my mom died. So we never really greaved properly before being hit with that. He died 1 year later, January 1 this year. Both gone in 13 months. I was 4 months pregnant when my dad passed. I have 1 sister who lives out of state. I don't understand how I can have an amazing husband and  great kids and still feel so alone. I still cry almost daily. I just don't know how to make it thru this time of year, and come out emotionally and mentally intact.

I am sorry for your loss Janice and Joe. I hope and pray that one day soon cancer no longer be a death sentence for anyone.

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
