My Dad

My Dad, Henry, was diagnosed on July 1 with Stage 4 cancer. He died on 8.19.09. He hadn't been feeling well and Dr.'s diagnosed him with everything but Stage 4 Cancer. I am sad and angry. Maybe if................. I CAN''t believe he is gone. I was holding his hand when he died. How do I help my Mom? They were married 51 years, and she is a very healthy 70 year old.

Barb,
My condolences on the loss of your dad. Your mom may need you nearby or just want to be left alone at times. Follow her lead.
I have found this website to be very supportive and the members very caring. You can also join the "I love my Dad" group on this site; sometimes it helps to share with those having a common bond.
Take care of yourself and feel free to share as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
Sincerely,
Laura

If your want to help your mom then you should go to grief counseling for deal her pain. Death is painful tragedy and we can't believe it easily. My condolences and prayers for you and your mother.

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
