project - MemberOlder people know they're going to die and a lot have seen many of their freinds die, so they know what to expect, its just tough on the family.
You don't [b]really[/b] think that makes it any easier, do you? We all know we're going to die...
It's been 20 years since my dad died (aged 93) and there's not a day goes by that I don't think of him or that he comes up in conversation.
I'm just grateful for having had such a great Dad - he taught me pretty much everything useful that I know.
That's tough. Be grateful for all the time you have had and all the he stuff he has done for you, and make the most of what time you all have left.
Colleagues mum was diagnosed with lung cancer the week for Christmas, passed away Feb 13th. She was more worried it would be a slow drawn out end, and was at peace with the situation, which has helped him.
Sadly, withe stw demographic, suspect a lot of us have this to come.
Very sad news.
Take it easy fella.
Best wishes dude, take care of yourself.
My Dad was recently diagnosed with an incurable (not quite terminal, but pretty close), rare form of lung cancer. He's got onto a promising looking drug trial, but the reality is that he will die from it, it's just a case of when.
I'm 18 at the moment and I don't know what I'll do without him.
