A Good Thriller discussion

Best wishes to Kim and Daisy. I lost my Daddy 2 years ago in August and it still feels like a piece of me is gone. Every time someone makes a mess -- we say "there's Daddy!"

Our thoughts go to both Kim and Daisy xx

It's so hard... I don't know about other people, but I always thought of my parents as indestructible.

I thought my Dad was the strongest man I knew and to see him with what cancer was doing to him was so unfair. It was 3 years ago January that my Dad passed and it will be 5 years in July for my Mom. I miss them both every day.

So sorry, Daisy. {{Hug}}

Kim, sorry for your loss. I'm glad it was peaceful.

Oh, I know. My Daddy got throat cancer. It was so cruel. He loved food and trying new things. The only saving grace was that he didn't linger. I hated it when the thing got into his brain... he just wasn't the same person. I hate cancer.

Kirsten, that's my mantra. I hate cancer! I've lost too many family members and friends to cancer. My Dad ate but couldn't taste anything because of all the chemo and radiation to this thoat. He had small cell and large cell lymphoma. He went down hill fast but he suffered.

Kim I m sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

We ALL think of our parents as indestructible.

So sorry for your loss Daisy!! i'll remember you is my prayers!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers everyone. It still feels like a dream that I haven't woken up from. It is the little things that hurt the most and remind me that it is real. Things like not buying anymore of his favorite food.

I learned early in life that our parents are not indestructible when my dad died from complications of pancreatitus(sp?) and pneumonia when I was 11.

So far, my family hasn't had anyone who has suffered from cancer *knocks on wood*. I can't what it must be like to see someone go through the cancer treatments

My aunt died of that too.

Daisy, it's so hard, isn't it, knowing your mom is gone? It's a hard concept to grasp. You said she's an angel now, so I guess you believe that she is now at peace in her new "residence," or state of being. Gentle thoughts for you and your loved ones as you grieve.

Kim, 92 years is a lot of years on this earth. I'm sorry the last four were so challenging for your grandfather and difficult to watch fo ryou and your family. I have been going through that with my parents too. My condolences to you and your family as well.

Daisy and Kim, my heart goes out to you both. Such a hard time.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, hugs, thoughts and prayers. We said our final goodbyes to my mom yesterday. It was one of the hardest days in my life. My mom was my best friend and biggest supporter all my life. I'm thankful she's no longer suffering. It is just so hard to let go. Mom was always the most beautiful person, inside and out, the kindest, most selfless person I have ever known. I'm so proud to have called her my mom.

Those are the nicest words any daughter could write about their mom.

Thank you, Rick.

I'm sorry for your loss, Daisy. They're lovely words. Sending best wishes your way.

What beautiful words to honour your mom. I feel your pain and have been through it. I am so sorry, Daisy and my thoughts and prayers and hugs go your way to you and your family. We are always here for you.

Beautiful words Daisy, so sorry for your loss, your mom will stay in your heart and memories forever.

Daisy, your Mom seems to have been a remarkable woman, and I think you are a remarkable daughter. My thoughts continue to go out to you and your family.

Thank you all.

Losing a parent is hard. My mom passed away in '06, my dad in '08 and I still miss them every day.

But, they never truly die. They live on in you, in your heart, in your mind, in your memories.

Very true, Quillracer. My mom died 18 months ago, and I think about her a lot.

Very quite at the moment.

my mum has been given only weeks to live.

Lost the use of both legs, too old for surgery.

She was told yesterday.

Flying over to the Uk next week.

My thoughts are with you Sean. It is always hard losing a parent, no matter how prepared you think you are. Make the most of the time you have left with her.

Oh gosh, Sean, I'm so sorry. I agree that you should make the most of the time you have left with your mum. Such sad news.

So very sorry, Sean. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks all.

Just booked flights and hotel.

From Jersey to Exeter, then up to Taunton, my mum is moving back to her nursing home, will have 24 care.

My older sister and brother are spending different days with her.

My mum is comfgortable but on high dosages of morphine and pain killers.

I hope I get there in time next, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Has to fight my work to get a couple of days of work as so short staffed.

But I just sent to them "I am going " !!

Getting off this island is not cheap either.

So sorry to hear your news, Sean. My thoughts are with you.

Sean, I'll be thinking about you a lot. These times are so tough. So so sorry for you, your mum and your family. XOXO

The love of a lot of friends will be traveling with you Sean.

Ow, Sean.

It's not gonna be a long flight, though, right? Faster than taking the ferry.

Flight 45 minutes.. Drive I guess another 1/2 hours.

Thanks all x

So sorry to hear this, Sean. Spend every moment you can with her! Enjoy her company and be sure to cherish those precious moments. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Haven't been on this thread for a few days and just saw your sad news, Sean. Thinking of you and your family. Saying final goodbyes to one's mother is - well, it's sort of surreal.

Hi all

I am still around.

My wife and I cancelled our jewellery stall today.

Knowing my family where with my Mum, and my brother set up Face time, for the first time on his Apple I Pad.

So this morning I saw my brothers girlfriend, and of course my mum.

It was great telling her "Mum I am coming over next week"

After telling me off for spending the money, she cried, and was happy I was going.

Brother leaves today, and my Auntie and Uncle are with her this afternoon and tomorrow.

Staying at The Mount Somerset Spa Hotel, which is 15 minutes away from the hospital but also from her nursing home Dunkirk Memorial Nursing Home.

I am there Friday and Saturday.

At the moment I just have to carry on as best as possible.

Tennis helps as helps with the stress, but thinking all the time of my Mum.

My wife Tracey has to stay here to look after the cats, and is upset she cannot come with me.

But everyday I speak to my mum on Face Time or phone I know it might be my last and hope stays stable till I arrive next week.

I'm so sorry, Sean. It's great you're doing face time and glad you got to see your mum. Stay strong these next few days. I know it's easier said than done but we're here when you need. xo

Sean sorry to hear your bad news with your Mom. Will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayer's.

Sean, just caught up after a couple days...sorry for your news. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers since we have had the opportunity to simply contact one another in this crazy world. Whether you are a believer or not, sometimes to give someone hope, you can focus on the thoughts that THIS is not all there is. Or you can remind them of all the good times you've had. Others just need your presence and that's it. Whatever it is, I hope she finds peace and comfort. Me personally, I will pray and be thinking about you and your mother.

Thanks all.

Tonight Mum slept all evening, so auntie and uncle could not face time

Difficult time Sean, prayers for you and your family

Hi all

I have placed a update in the Chat Chat Chatter.

Back last night.

(Bleep) like this makes my blood boil! https://forcechange.com/158472/justic...

What (bleeping)(bleeping) jack(bleep) overreacts THAT badly when his roommate's DOG chews up his (bleep)damned SHOES?!

In an attempt to be polite about it, I have used "(bleep)" in place of the words I REALLY want to use.
