  1. Green, I can totally sympathise with you. On Thursday of this week was 1 month since my Father passed away. Like so many people here, I can't even begin to comprehend how life goes on. I spent a lot of time on Thursday looking at pictures and trying to come to the realization that physically, I can't hug or hold my Dad or have him hug me when I've had a bad day. How does one go on? I have no clue. I have no parents left to ask and each day is such a struggle. Last Saturday I headed out to do my grocery shopping and as I was turing onto the main street, a coach and limo followed by a funeral process passed in front of me. I immediately was filled with tears - I don't know if I was sad for the folks who were just going through this or was I reliving what I had just gone through a month ago. I wish there were some answers that would take the burden off our shoulders....only time will tell
  2. I feel the same way as you. When I lost my Mom, I had my Dad there with me and I had to be strong for him. Now, it's just me. I don't have any siblings and although my friends are great, I hate to call them all the time with my "saddness". I know it's just something that you go through and we will get through it, it is just the time that it takes in my opinion to get there. I think for me also, reading the stories on this board has helped me to know that I'm not alone and there are so many other people experiencing the same thing I am.
  3. Hello everyone, I'm in a place that is so familiar to me, yet feel so lost. I lost my Mother to cancer in June of 1989. From there, I took care of my Father who felt like one side of his body had been ripped away from him. My parents had been married for 30 years and after a very short battle with cancer (1 week), my Mother was gone. Now I find myself in that same situation again. My Father was diagnosed on June 12 of this year with a stage IV malignant brain tumour. After "rushing" him through the system for testing, surgery, etc. it was deemed that he had about two months to live. I once again could not believe that the same sad news could be true about my Father. My Father and I were best friends. Although he lived about 2 hours from me, we still spent a lot of time together and talked on the phone at least 3 times a day. I watched my Father's health go rapidly down hill and then on August 3 he transition into a new chapter in his life. I do talk peace knowing that he has been re-united with my Mom which was his objective since she passed but I'm lost, I'm silent and lonely. I know I will go through the stages of grief, but for the here and now, it is so hard and my heart hurts so much. I never thought I would have no parents at my age. Parents are suppose to live to be grandparents. I'm certainly glad that my Father was here for my wedding and to spend 15 year with his grandchildren. Any advice would be appreciated. I wish there was a phone that I could call him on, or something.........................
