Cancer is the devil's disease, it took my husband, my nephew, my grandson, my sister-in-law and it now taking my wonderful friends.

Does it ever get better? I miss my dad so much, it has been 5 months. My daughter will never even remember meeting him. It seems like cancer is EVERYWHERE.

Hi Morgan,
Babe J has regained use of her paws, I prayed so hard and I think he answered my prayers. If anything happens to her it is the end of my life/

Oh no, Linda, not Babie J? I am so sorry. It's like life just wants to keep throwing things at us just to see our breaking point. I am constantly watching my life just shrink down. All I want to do is staying bed and sleep.

Don't care if I die, I have nothing to live for since losing my Husband 5/5/13 and my dog having brain cancer. What purpose is there to life.

My daughter is in med school and is currently doing a clinical rotation in Oncology. Cancer is a terrible disease. She said she sees all stages of cancer and how it is affecting people. Most of the patients she sees are smokers or heavy drinkers or obese. My husband passed from brain cancer. He was diagnosed and passed within 20 days. He had liver disease from alcohol, he was a very heavy smoker, but I don't care how badly someone treats their own body, no one deserves to die this way. Since his death I have decided to take charge of my life. I eat better, exercise and I feel I'm doing it for him. I seem to have a different outlook on life and it helps me deal with the grief of losing him. I find I sleep better. There is no way to ever know if someone is going to get cancer, or just die suddenly but I know he would want me to embrace every day and that's what doing.....some of the time

My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
