Sometimes these things just happen. Lots of times people seem to be getting better and then it just gets worse. Just be glad that he was feeling so well and didn't die in pain.

I'm always here if you need to talk to anyone.

I agree with what you say. and part of what helps me through this is thinking of that, and that he was able to say what he needed before he left. I connected w/ him very well in the weeks before he passed on, as did the rest of my family. He seemed to have taken care of the important stuff before his passing. and that puts my mind a little more at ease.
I appreciate u being there for me
thank u

Wow I am sorry that this is the time where I comment and not on some uplifting note. I miss you like crazy. I have been working as I am sure you have been doing as well or some form of activity. My sincerest sympathy and prayer is with you and I hope that you can find a way to come to terms with such a terrible and great loss. If you need someone to talk to you know where to find me.

Much love.

That's terrible. I know when I lost my cousins and thier stepdad in a car accident I thought it was the end of the world, they were like a brother and sister to me. It was the first time I really had to deal with unexpected death in my life. Every other time I could remember loosing some one up to that point they were dying and I knew it and I had my chances to say good bye and I braced myself for it. I really felt like some one ripped out my insides when I lost them unexpectedly and that wasn't even one of my parents. I am sure yours was even worse because you worry through the cancer you wait and prepare for the worst and the surgery is over and things are wonderful and you have hope and then unexpectedly it's shot down. I can only imagine how you feel and your in my thoughts. I wish I would have seen you while you were in FLA.
much love

It's something that I can't even begin to describe. I've lost friends before and it was horrible, but this is much beyond that. It very much seems like something that I could never recover from.
I too, wish that we could have seen each other while I was in FLA. i hope to get a second chance here soon.
