Hello Jackie, I would like to offer my sympathy at this difficult time for you, I lost my husband last year after a 6 month battle with lung cancer. I cared for him at home and after he died I remember the feelings of  "what do I do now" when there is just me.  It is hard, I don't know what else to say but am sending caring thoughts to you and your daughter.

Thank you Lynne xx

Hello Jackie,

sorry to hear the loss of your dad its so sad i lost my dad also this month to lung cancer and like your dad he passed away very quickly after diagnosis. Its such a difficult time my dad passed away at home surrounded by  his 3 favourite special girls in his life (my mum, me and my sister) we held his hand up until his last breath he looked so peaceful but seeing what he had to go through and how he was in the final stages is truely heartbreaking. I miss him so much and want him back so badly.

my thoughts are with you and your daughter xx

Hi Jackie.

i lost my mum on Monday from lung cancer. It's turely unbelievable. 

I can't understand how one minute she was sat up drinking a cup of tea and now she has gone. 

Do you believe your dad is still around? I can't get my head around the fact that my mum has just gone, it's not possible. 

Have you any advise on how to cope? I can't stop crying, can't eat, can't talk, can't do anything really. X

My condolences.

In my opinion, what you do now is live. And concentrate on quality of life for yourself and your daughter.

Your parents live on through you and her and I suggest that your happiness and contentment would have been, and are, the most important things to them.

Regards

Taff

My heart goes out to you... When l lost my mum (best buddy too) and dad .. the one thing that helped me cope was l imagined they were there in the room an wonder what they would say to me ... And l know mum would be so sad to see me not coping and their Heart's would brake .... They would smile if they saw me missing them but still finding me laughing an helping my sons to come to terms with what life throws at us ... Children have an amazing way of crying one minute an then they can do something completely different an smile again ... But us adults feel it all the time ...

27years later I now have my journey with breast cancer an if I go l know that's what l want my sons to do .... Miss me but never stop smiling coz l love it went they laugh bout something together ... 

So my brave lady , your probly braver an stronger then you imagine .... Sending a big hug xx
