LMD Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 HiThank you everyone who posts here. Over the last 15 months I've read the posts on this forum pretty much every evening - I've only posted a few times myself (as my father was very private) but I feel as though I know you so well!...The website, this forum, the conversations/telephone calls and e.mails with Dianne and Jeni have been my 'lifeline'.....Yesterday was my fathers funeral. A few hundred people paid their respects and gave him an amazing send off. My Dad was my hero and I love and miss him so much. There are no words to describe the loss... From the moment he was diagnosed he remained positive and remained that way until the end. One thing he said to me during his last days was that I should stay strong and that's what I'm trying to do.My father was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer and went on to tolerate his chemo well (Gemcap) and lived with his diagnosis for over a year until a complication took over.......Thank you again to everyone who shared - I've shed (many) tears and found a lot of helpful information here - It's all helped to remain hopeful right until the end.Thinking of you allLMDXxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMD Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thank you everyone.We were with Dad until he passed and thankfully his pain levels were under control. It's so hard to believe that he's no longer with us...Am thinking about writing on the tribute page - (Julia, I saw your lovely tribute for your husband) and will do soon.Leila - I often think of you and your Dad too xxHope things are going well with everyone ....

karen68 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Dear LMDI just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss of your dad.Like you, I have read this forum daily for several months, and only posted a couple of times, but gained so much invaluable support and information.We lost my dad 13 days ago and I expect my pain is as raw as yours. Sending you love and strength.Karen x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hello KarenThank you for the message... I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad too.Our fathers were in hospital at the same time - I remember reading your posts as I was sitting with Dad.You're right, it's all so raw still and at times still doesn't seem real. I hope you are as ok as can be and also send you a lot of love and strength at this sad and difficult time. You're not alone xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen68 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thank you. You're so right about it not seeming real - I feel like this is happening to someone else not me, and I still can't quite believe I will never see or hear my dad again.It's comforting in a strange sort of way to connect with someone who has probably experienced and is experiencing a similar situation.I hope you're as OK as possible too xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
