My Dad was diagnosed with cancer on August 3 and passed away on Sept 7. It has been almost two weeks and it is still so unbelievable. What most people experience over the course of years when dealing with cancer, we had to endure over a month. My Dad was only 61 years old and his birthday is Sat. My poor mom is still just in shock. We all keep saying "How could this be...how is he not here with us anymore."
My poor Jack doesn't have his Pop anymore...his best pal, his train buddy. I'm stricken with sadness at the thought that my dad won't be here to see them grow and laugh with them.
I haven't been on the boards lately as I'm just not in the mood. I know time will make things better and every thought I have will not be punctuated by the rawness of his death. But it is so so hard. Never in my life did I think I would watch my father die from cancer and lie in hospice waiting for the time to come.
I am sitting at my desk at work crying for you. I am so very sorry for your loss and the quick and horrible way you lost your father. Words cannot express how sorry I am for what you are going through. My prayers and condolences to your family.
Oh I am so sorry. I lost my dad 2 yrs ago to a sudden heart attack in front of us. he was only 58. i feel your pain. Trust me when i tell you within time you will feel better. it doesnt go away but it definitely feels better then the numbness the first few months.
