  • Hi SuzukiGT185,

    We've all been there. Anger is a natural part of the grieving process, a process which often starts when someone is first diagnosed with cancer. 

    Cancer is unfair, it affects people at random - good people just as much as bad ones. Only 40% of cases are preventable. Even those of us who eat and drink the right things, exercise and never smoke can develop it - although the probability is lower. No wonder we feel angry.

    Don't worry about him seeing you upset, it shows that you care. 

    This is a good place to vent your anger and frustration with people who understand better than most what you are going through.

    Good luck to you both.

    Dave

     

  • I'm so very very sorry, I feel how you felt and feel..my 43yr old brother passed away in June...I cannot still understand it all, the anger has subsided to a state of having to come to terms with something I dont really want to have to...I still have bubbling anger at the stupidness and unfairness of it all...I wanted to let you know these feelings of loss of control and indescribable emotional weirdness of everything feeling unreal are utterly and completely understood...how has 4 months passed with my brain in such a blur...but looking back, it is slightly eased or at least different. I feel for you, look after yourself x
