Have any of you guys lost a family member/friend to cancer?I myself lost my mother, february 12th, 2003.It was horrible of course. The worst part being the following christmas. That christmas wasn't horrible, it was just so awkward.I got alot of support from my friends.So if you have lost someone special to cancer, you can post how you pulled through and what period was the worst.It's okay if an administrator deletes this thread, just wanted to ask the questions.

I lost my mother to cancer 10 yrs ago. It was horrible watching her waste away and die at home. IDK what to tell you about coping. You just do. I had a wife and kids to think about so you have to move on. It's very sad and hard but life can be cruel.

I lost my mother to cancer on Feb. 18th 2004\. It was the worst day of my life. My sister and i were her main caregivers once she was sent home from the hospital because they told us there was nothing else they could do for her.She made it 5 more days. It was terrifying and heartbreaking. after her death the hardest part at that time was seeing my dad suffer with out her.Starving himself and just giving up on his own life. He passed away in June.
I have not been able to cope well. It is very hard to go on with everyday life, but with children to a take care of, you dont have a choice. To me it doesnt feel right to laugh or be happy anymore.My heart has a huge hole in it, and it will never be filled. -
i lost my best friend to cancer on october 1st 2003.. i think the hardest part about that was that no one knew about it.. everyone thought she was healthy and didnt see it coming.. that was the hardest part..i also lost my 2 uncles to cancer just last month.. i think the hardest part was not being able to say goodbye

My cousin died three years ago from cancer. He was 24 years old and was always so full of life. He had some soreness in his leg and by the time they diagnosed it as cancer, it had spread to his lungs and he was dead within months. My and my family had decided to go visit him, waiting until the weekend to drive up, but he died on a Thursday so we didn't get to see him before he passed.
