Funny how life can change overnight...

[Esmerelda]

I am a long time user/reader of the Disboard. I haven't been on for a while. I've been busy planning a wedding for this coming May. I met my sweetheart for life almost 2 years ago...oddly enough, online. We live 17 miles apart. He proposed last April and we set the date for May 28 of 2005. This date was chosen because it is my parents 50th wedding anniversary. It couldn't get any more special than that.

My father was admitted to the hospital last Thursday, diagnosed w/cancer on Friday then died on Saturday. This has all been such a nightmare for us. My mom is not handling it very well at all right now..she is a walking zombie.
We laid him to rest yesterday and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. We had hoped to take him and my mom to Disney since we joined DVC last fall but now we won't get that chance. Please say extra prayers for my mom to get thru this...I can't stand the thought of burying her too. I know my dad is in a much better place now, and he isn't in pain but it still hurts.

Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same,
Esmerelda..

To lose your father so sudden must be very difficult. I lost my father 10 years back of lung cancer. This time for you I'm sure is very painful. I can only say that with time life every day gets a little better and easier to go on. I will pray for you and your mother. Remember that he will always be in your heart. I tell my 2 children whom my father did not get a chance to be with, that pop pop picked them out in heaven and that he is always watching. Life is precious. Enjoy all of your time on earth with your family.

I know this is a very difficult time in your life. I've been there- we lost my Mom just over 2 years ago quite suddenly, followed 2 weeks later by my FIL and 4 months later by my MIL, all suddenly. It takes time to heal I and really relied on the great memories we made with our family over the years. I am saying lots of prayers for you and your Mom.

What a shock. I am so sorry. I lost my dad to lung cancer last summer and it still hurts. God bless you and your mother.

My wife was diagnosised with oral cancer in Julyof 97. While 30 weeks pregnant last, the cancer returned. Unfortunately, it may have returned again. We find out tomorrow.

I just remember one card that she received last year. The card had a very simple message. Cancer may start with "C" but there are many more words including caring, compassion, consideration...

Those words will always have more power than cancer in the end.

Awwwww, I'm so sorry. I will for sure keep your mom in my prayers as she tried to get over losing her best friend. I've been through this with my father-in-law who lost his wife when she was 56. Everyone person handles grief differently, be patient with her. But also, allow yourself some time to grieve. You will both get through this.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom, stepfather, sister in law and 2 best friends - all w/in a year. It doesn't make anything better, but time heals a lot - we never forget and it stays with us always.
Just take one day at the time and will remember you and your family in my prayers - hugs and smiles each day to you and your family -
