Hello Everyone, My Father will be gone 4mts on Saturday and the pain is getting worse,Why? Should we be getting better? My Mother is so nasty to me and my sister you can't ask her anything. For example I asked her about her finances only because I want to make sure she OK and she gets defensive like I want her money. I'll call her in the morning and ask her how she sleep and it's always the same " I didn't" don't you think if she never sleep she wouldn't be able to function. And it goes on and on don't get me wrong I totally understand were she's coming from but my sister and I are greiving too,we were so close to my Dad the pain is still so strong. My heart is broken I feel like a big baby I'm 41 years old and I want my Dad and when I think of never seeing him again it's like a knife stabbing me in my stomach. Well thanks for letting me vent. Michele

Sher, I'm so very sorry for your loss! Your husband has only been gone 20 days give yourself a chance. It's been 4mts since my Dad passed away and we still cry everyday, it's OK to cry.. Maybe you should ask your Doctor to give you something to help calm you down and it may help you sleep better. My Mother always has better days after she gets a good night sleep.

Welcome Janice, I'm truly sorry that you are going throught such a difficult time. I don't know to much about SCLC my Dad had NSCLC but I could relate to all the emotions that your feeling.. The only thing I could say to you is just be there for him no matter what his mood is. I feel blessed that when my Father was really sick and not in the best of moods I didn't lose it with him, because now That he gone I don't feel bad for not being there, or losing my patience with him.. I feel like I did everything I could to make me comfortable and I told him I Loved him all the time during that dreadful time.. Stay Strong Mcihele

(((Sue))) Please give yourself a chance it's only 11 days! It's strange that you should bring up the dreams but I just started having them and my Dad will be gone 4mts on Saturday. Friday Night was the worse, I kept seeing my dad lying on the couch in a apt that I had 10 years ago and the Doc standing there telling us he only has 6 weeks to live. everytime I shut my eyes it would happen over and over, and then last night I was dreaming of him and when I woke up I was totally soaked from sweat but I can't remember what the dream was about. Try to stay strong it will get easier but not for awhile. My Mom is still crying everyday and hates being home alone. But my sister and I have our own families we try to include her but she feels like a burden. Which of course she's not! It's just a no win situation.. Love Michele

Wendy, Keep up a positive attitude and FIGHT this beast you can do it! (((hugs))) Michele
