Coping with loss from afar

[Safferbeauty]

I lost my dad on 29 January 2004 due to oesophogial cancer and lung cancer too. I was in London when I found out in July 2003. I was devastaed. The doctors told us he had about a year to 2 years to live so I thught we had time to say good bye and make peace. In January 2004 i was told that I had to fly out to say good bye as he was getting weaker and weaker. I went over for orignally 2 weeks but then stayed 2 more weeks as my dad did pass away and i could not leave my mum alone. It was the hardest thing seeing my dad's body being taken away. Its been nearly 2.5 years since his death and I still cry from time to time. Time doesnt heal all wounds, no but u learn to cope with pain and carry on. U find the strength to carry on. Talking and going for councelling really helps.

I am sorry u lost your brother and u r in my thoughts and prayers all the time
