DG my heart goes out to you - having lost both parents (in their mid to late fifities), I can relate to your family's position in some way.  :-*

Very, very sorry to hear this DG.  Yes, you must spend as much time with him as you can and count each day as a blessing.  You are in our thoughts.

DG, so sorry to hear this news, Just make every minute count, but yes you must also look after yourself, as this time can be so exhausting mentally and physically. My thoughts are with you and you family.

Oh DG devastting news.... Cherish the time you have together ... I dont know hat is worse .. Having the chance to say all that you need to say ad losng them bit by bit which is painful and exhausting or not having had that chance ... Find strength in one another and again cherish every moment you can but make sure you get rest and eat well..like my gp says to me often if your not well then you cant take care of antyone or be there for anyone so think of taking care of yourself as a necessity.. Know its not easy.. Hugs xx

Sadly I experienced both types of loss with Mum and Dad with each being as devastating - thankfully I had babies who required a functioning mother xx

Sorry I have been away for awhile. Dads cancer was very aggressive and he lost his battle on 8th March at 1.45am.

I will try and pop in when I can.

Thanks
DG  :'(

PLEASE Take care DG  and give yourself and your family some loving.

It is just over 3 months since we lost Mum just before Christmas. These aggressive cancers still take you by surprise even though you think you have dealt with it and said your good byes etc etc. We were told Mum had up to 6 months and lasted 4.

You pour so much into that time knowing that it is limited but you also forget to REALLY look after yourself so, as hard as I know it is, PLEASE make sure that you are doing just a little bit each day to look after yourself and give yourself a big hug from me. Thinking of you lots  :-* :-*

DG - I was so sad to hear your news - I think time is the best healer and faffa's right - you really must look after yourself now and give time the best opportunity you can to help you through.  Take good care -we're all thinking of you and your family.
