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 lost my father one month ago to AML. I am heartbroken and lost. My dad was everything to me. I feel like a part if me died on July 19. I feel anrgy and cheated that he isnt here anymore. But I feel a werid sense of peace which makes me feel guilty. I know at the end that wasn't my dad. And god knows I didn't want him to hurt anymore. I knew what the outcome would be but I still feel so cheated.
My poor mom. They would have been married 41 years Aug 11. His birthday is this Friday. He did so much for us. Even in death I've been doing paper work for my mom and finding notes and calls he had already made to make things easier for us.
I'm trying to be strong for my mom and little sister but all I truly want to do is curl up in a ball and cry my face off. I'm just this 34 year old girl who wants her daddy.

Angela, it's been four months since my mom died from a long battle with cancer (18 years long, off and on), and even though I knew it was coming for years, had a wonderful relationship with her and cared for her until her last breath, I am also still struggling. I cry every day, and most nights, can't fall asleep because I'm suffocating from the grief.  My dad doesn't want to talk about it at all, and my friends pretty much stopped being supportive as soon as the funeral was over, so I empathize with you.  It's small comfort, perhaps, to know that others are going through this, too, but I do think it's normal.  It takes people months to get over a break up- how could we possibly expect to recover from the death of the person who has been with us our whole lives in a few weeks?  (Anna, I second your comment-- everyone grieves differently, and I am trying to accept that it's ok that I am still overwhelmed by the loss.)

I lost my wife 7 days ago to NCLC. She had been diagnosed only 2 months ago. The disease was so aggressive it left us breathless and not knowing how long we still had together. I feel like half of my soul is missing and a great huge hole in my life. I can only hope that this pains eases.

I lost my boyfriend, To Brain Cancer last November. 

I cared for him, even when he was in hospital and I am not sure even though its been nearly 8 months that I'm over it yet.

I lost my boyfriend of 9 months on June 26th.  We found out in December that he had colon cancer and I'm still in shock how fast it spread even with chemo.  He was my best friend and we'd planned out a whole life that will never happen now.  I feel so lost without him.

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
