Losing Someone to Cancer

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.

There are alternatives.   If you want to make it easier on him, please look up Danny Valdman on FaceBook. Yes, pregrieving is a normal part of the process with losing someone to the c.

this is the one and only place I feel I can speak what's in my heart and know people will understand. 

People are dying all over the place every day...why are we so bad at this?

Jo B - sorry people around you are not more supportive - but sometimes we have to remember that going through a loss personally isn't always easy for others who haven't experienced it to understand. My choice is to walk away from these people -I don't have to justify my feelings to anybody else. Take whatever time, actions you need to deal with the circumstances and losses in your life. God Bless

Kathleen -my heart goes out to you - I think a part of all of us starts grieving once a limit is put on one's life span. As Richard said - you are not alone here there are people who have gone through, or are going through, emotions similar to what you are feeling. Feel free to vent here anytime - it helps - doesn't change the circumstance other than you not having everything bottled up inside. I think it's healthy to vent . Here there is no judgement just empathy and understanding.

Kathleen, I started greiving months in advance with my first wife. I wish there was something I could say or do to help ease your pain. But unfortunately there are no words that will make you feel better. Just know that you are not alone. People here completely understand how you feel.

So now Rocky is saying he wants to go off the Nexavar (the chemo he's on) because he wants a quality of life. He was told with treatment he had 6 to 24 months to live. How long without treatment? I'm distraught. I'm mad. I'm depressed. I'm scared out of my wits. There was no discussion, he just decided on his own without taking me into it. What about other treatments? He asked the onocologist about it last time, but it's like the movie Ground Hog Day every time with this guy. It's like he just sits there and asks how is Rocky feeling...and that's it! What about other options Dr? What do you do around here anyway? What are you paid to do? I can't tell.

I'm beside myself with grief. Am I the only one who started grieving beforehand? I feel like that is what I'm doing right now. Preparing myself. At times it's like lets get this over with. Then I stop and think how that would actually look and I can't take it. I can't stop crying no matter where I happen to be. I'm sick of making small talk with people at work...don't they know I'm dying inside? Can't they see it?

How long does he have with no treatment?

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
