So,so sad
I returned to Ireland on December first as my Dad wasnt doing so great.He was in a hospice battling throat cancer.Mum was in a room three rooms away getting respite care as she too was also sick with cancer.Mum went downhill all of a sudden and sadly passed away on Sunday leaving us all in shock.We sat with Dad around his bed arranging her funeral.He was broken hearted loosing Mum.They were married for 51 years.After struggling so much he too passed away last night .We are all heartbroken but knew that they couldnt live without each other.We are now arranging a double funeral for Saturday.RIP Mum and Dad.xx

Remember there are loads of us here who've been through the same so if you want to talk we're here. Sending you a big cyber hug. ( )
I just realised that today is the 3rd anniversary of my dad's death, too.

Hugs and prayers for you all, what a terrible time for you; at least you have the knowledge that they are together and not suffering apart.

Re: So,so sad
Thats awful, I'm so sorry.
I lost my mum last year and it was the most devastating and difficult time of my life. I can only imagine what you are going through losing both of them at the same time. As others have said, at least they are together again now and they no longer have to suffer that horrible disease.
My heart truly goes out to you and your family. Take care.
