Lost my dad to liver cancer

by Stella
(Los Angeles, ca)

My dad was diagnosed with liver cancer in April, 2009. We took him to treatment but he was at stage 4, so it was nearly impossible to get rid of the cancer. My father died November 4th 2009. He was only 60.

I'll never forget that day. I basically saw my dad take his last breath in front of me and within seconds, he was gone. He died in his own bed with all of us around him.

It has been so difficult to deal with it. I cry every other day and I find myself going into depression. My mom is not the same because my parents were the perfect couple. My dad was everything to me and in some ways I was his little girl.

I am so angry, I don't know how to deal with things and just recently my boyfriend and I broke up after 5 years. I have lost myself and I don't know how to find myself. I have been trying to go out with friends, gym, etc, but nothing seems to be working. I am so lonely and I don't know what to do.

Stella, firstly my condolences on the loss of your father. I too lost dad in Aug 2009, a few weeks after being told he was ill. You need to deal with your feelings, not hide them, as you will just explode one day (as I did)!! Not worth the heartache, let me tell you.

Maybe seek some help externally to find a way to deal with your feelings. Hopefully your boyfriend may see what enormous stress you & your family are going through later on; don't give up, there is still hope to rekindle that relationship, but firstly you need to work on your self healing.

I wish you all the best Stella, and keep your father's fond memories in your heart.

I'm Sorry for you Loss

Dear Friend....Just read your blog about losing your dear father. I feel your pain as I lost both my parents in 2008. First my mom on 3/9/08 then my dad 4/13/08.

Try to surround yourself with supportive, positive people who will help you through this. I am very fortunate to have a large, extended family and many of them are local. Also, my church has been so supportive throughout my parents' illnesses and the difficult time after their passings.

I will pray for you. You have to go through the grief. It is not easy.
