Hi Dietbore

I also lost my Dad to Liver Cancer and it was also very sudden. He started to feel cold and tired so in March went to the doctors as he thought it was the flu and he couldn't shake it off...they did blood tests which came back showing he had low platelet count..they ran more tests which came back (in May) to say he had Hepatitis C and cirrosis of the liver, he was then diagnosed with Liver Cancer on 3rd Aug and his health rapidly decreased and he passed away on 29th Aug exactly 1 week before my wedding day.
I too am in shock as he went so quickly we didn't have chance to get our head around it. He was a fit and healthy 58 year old, he was still working in June and then he suddenly went downhill, we just can't believe it.

I am so so sad, i was a real daddy's girl and can't imagine my life without him..I miss him so much it hurts.

Jen.

Hello Jen,

 welcome to the board.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Nothing ever prepares us to lose a loved one. And how sad that he was not able to walk you down the aisle. I am sure he was with you in spirit and shared the day with you but I know that that knowledge is of no comfort when you wanted his physical presence.

Please come talk to us. We can't change anything but you are with those who understand and are doing the bereavement journey with you.

Jillxx

hello Jen.

Sorry for the loss of your dear dad, no words can offer comfort at this difficult time but were all here for you if you need support. Sweetheart, please remember that he may not be here in person any more but will always be in your heart forever.

jen ,

I just lost my dear daddy yesterday morn ,he had bowel cancer .( he was age 60 )

I hate it sooo much and miss him more than anything .....

It wasn't sudden like your dad but still very painful to watch him detiorate . (Big 16stone man turn into less than half that)We had been told in Aug that they were unlikely to be able to operate .Maybe i was trying to be optimistic  or maybe just niave but i never thought he would actually go not till the last few weeks.

I too was a daddy's girl ...so my heart is completely with you there xxx

Sometimes you just want to leave your own head ...just for a second and escape this horrible pain and not have to think about it xx 

I do want to be positive but its quite tricky right now xx

Charlie

xxxxx

Very gentle hugs Charlie. I am so very sorry for your loss.

You are still in the shock stage of bereavement. You will go through so many feelings and emotions, all perfectly normal. We can't undo what has happened but we are here to help support you through this. Please don't feel too alone because everyone here understands the journey you are on and we will do our best to support you through it.

Hugs

Jillxx
