Has anyone lost a love one too Cancer

i am sorry that ,it is not easy for you to stand,l love my mom too

I lost my mom in March 2005 from Cancer. Again, in June 2007 I lost my father in law also from cancer. I know what it feels to have our beloved one away from our side for good. We can only hope not to get that horrible desease. God bless U.

My dad past away from cancer too on May 2003. During his ordeal I we are there to witness his suffering since we can no longer afford the price of his chemotherapy and we ask the doctor about the chance of him to survive at it's a 50/50 chance since it is already stage IV we decided to stop the chemotherapy although it is painful a decision we try to live and accept it. But the lessons we as family learn from it is how to be strong and prayerful in times of sufferings like this and it gives us more courage and bonded us together as a family and we learn to face and understand life as a journey from this world to eternity. We learn to cherish the times he is with us and it gives us strength to move on for we always remember him in his words that life should be face with optimism and faith in the one true God.

Firstly welcome to mylot and hope that your trip hre is a happy one too. Yes, i can relate very well to you, as i also lost my mother a few years back, due to cancer and saw her suffer right in front of my eyes, and am glad that the suffering was not as much as the normal cancer patients under go. She had cancer of the lungs and we all were rather shocked as shes never smoked nor anything of the kind, and the doctors wondered as well as to what could have happened to her, how she got it. And i have yet to see such a brave and positive lady as she was the one who used to give all of us courage instead, and used to tell us always to remain positive all the time too. She underwent chemotherapy and did not ever whine at anything nor any pain that she had, would ever come to be even known to us, its amazing how she managed that. As am sure that they all under go pain, but few are able to bear it up. Her end was smooth as she passed away after suffering from cardiac arrest and it was the tail end of her cancer life too , as after that she would have started the real suffering due to which the patients deterioate too. But some how for me, she never left me, and till date i feel her beside me, as my guiding light, as shes beside me in my ups and downs and i can sense and feel her with me always. Yes, physically shes not there, and i miss her talks and everything a lot but when i close my eyes and rethink of her, i find her with me, and i would suggest maybe you also try that, as those who are close to us, never leave our side .

I know how you feel. My mother lost her battle with cancer 18 years ago. She found out she had it in February, had an operation that we thought would cure her, but passed away the following August. It's something you just never think of - it was like, my mother? Cancer? So unbelievable. I learnt to accept the fact that she was gone and I dealt with it, but I will always miss her. It makes me sad that she never knew her grandchildren. I have 3 kids and I know she would have cherished them. The hardest time is mother's day - I enjoy it as a mother to my kids, but I also get a little sad when I think of my mother. Don't dwell on the bad times. Concentrate on all the good times. I made a page in my scrapbook that is a dedication to my mother - I put pics from fun times over a double page. It turned out great and, though I do feel a bit sad looking at it, I also smile as I remember the times shown in the photos. I've told my children that their grandmother is an angel who will always look after them. I believe in guardian angels & I believe my mother is guardian angel to all my kids. Big hugs to you, hun. You'll be OK.
