I am so sad and sorry to hear that Caroline.He is now at peace and his suffering and pain is over.Take comfort in that you did as much as you could have done being so far from home.You have all your lovely memories of him.You can now go home and say your final goodbyes and you and your sister can be there for each other.Take care of yourself.x

Re: RIP dad
 

RIP, my thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Re: RIP dad
 

I'll second that. Share your grief with your family. Let your daughter see that it's ok to feel sad and that it's ok to cry. If you hide your pain away from the people who love you how will they help you and how can you help them?

Re: RIP dad
 

Oh mate... Such mixed feelings for you, so sorry that he has gone, but glad that his suffering and your vigil is now over. Nothing can prepare you for the inevitable no matter how "expected" it was... its a devastating thing loosing your dad that you loved so much..

You are so lucky to be able to have wonderful memories, many of them unsullied by his awful disease... And blessed to be able to remember him as he was and not wholly as he became at the end...

My Thoughts and prayers are with you all mate...

Re: RIP dad
 

May he RIP.

It is 3 years to the day since my dad lost his own cancer battle. I know that he was at peace and glad to go at the end.

Thinking of you.

RIP dad
 

I have no idea who you are but my thoughts and sympathies are with you and your family at this sad and dreadful time.

Be strong.

Thank you everyone - my nice neighbour came round with some flowers and kept me company for a few hours.She has offered to look after my garden and the post while I'm away:starsmile:

Apparently my dad died with a moustache - too painful to shave his top lip. My OH has a MO for Movember too. Gents please get yourselves checked and don't go through this horrible illness.

My thoughts are with all those who are affected by this.

Re: RIP dad
 

Cancer truly is a horrific thing, my Mum has been gone 16 years now and still this disease is blighting the lives of many people.

Apparently even the nurses were crying - despite him stealing their tea and cake, and the odd patient! He'd been there since August. My sister is going to go in with a big basket of goodies to replace all the ones he took.
