About Me:
My brother was diagnosed with Colon cancer that had spread to his liver just two weeks ago.   They did surgery for his colon and he was to follow up with chemo for his liver but died in the hospital after surgery.  We were just trying to get over the shock of learning he had cancer and then he died.  I was very close to my brother.  It takes everything I have to just get out of bed.  Watching my parents crumble is also killing me.  Where do you go from here?  How do you go on living when your world has crumbled.  Need support badly.

    Betty or anyone on this list. Tell me where to send it and I will send you either electronically or by snail mail, whichever you prefer, a handout I give to all of my support groups titled "Nine Proven Survival Skills for Coping with Loss & Change." Betty, the most important thing to do now is find someone you trust and won't try to fix you, and talk about what you are feeling. You can get through this devastating loss. Keep telling yourself that very thing. Lou
