my old dear died after a very long struggle. it was a difficult relief when she went. she had no kind of life that was worth the term, come the end. it was a release for her, difficult for those left behind, but you come to terms with it. it's what you have to do, and do do, after all of it.
keep on trucking.

Sorry for your loss c-g. We went through similar circumstances with my grandmother a few years ago, and it's a very harsh illness for the family.
All I can add is that over time you learn to cope with the loss and you will find that instead of the struggles you remember all the good things.
Desperately sorry for you, c_g. My thoughts are very much with you. Stay strong.
commiserations, C_G
remember him as he used to be and be grateful he's free from how he became
RIP
Sorry, thoughts are with you

I lost my Dad last August, he was only 67.
It's very strange not having those who you are closest to around any more.
They never leave your heart they will always be there with you wherever you go whatever you do watching over you.
My thoughts go to all those whose lives he was a part of c_g
Sorry to hear CG
Its the downside of life I'm afraid
Thoughts are with you kid
It is really painful now- but a release. It really will get easier (but perhaps not better) as time goes by. Remember good things, in special places, at special times. Sort of works for me.
And don't forget to cry, lots of crying.
Commiserations CG, stay strong.
Sorry to hear this c_g, thoughts are with you and your family.
Sorry CG. Lost my Dad three weeks ago, know what you're going through.
Sorry for your loss x
Sorry to hear that.
Knowing its going to happen doesn't make it any easier!
sounds like he went through a long illness...? I know what you mean. It's a terrible thing to happen but knowing the suffering is over is a relief. I'm right there with you, I think about my dad a lot. It'll get better, think on about the good times.
Sad for your loss CG.

Condolences Cinnamon Girl 🙁
Sorry to hear your sad news c_g, my condolences to you and family.
I cared for my Dad through the last four months of his life before the pancreatic cancer finally got him two and a half years ago, and while it was a blessing for him when he finally went, I do miss having the old so-and-so around and still have a natter to him occasionally.
Thank you all for your kind words. It has enabled the tears to flow as they had been pretty much bottled up earlier.
Lots of good memories to cherish.
Sorry to hear that c_g, see you soon. Rusty
Huge hug from me CG, hopefully to be delivered in person when I finally get back out on the bike. The good times will be with you forever, remember them fondly and allow yourself to smile.

He'd want you to be happy, and remember him at his best.
He'll always be with you.
RIP your dad.

Still gutted for you c_g 🙁
I'm glad you've had a good cry - this is not a time to feel you have to be "strong" and stiff upper lips are very overrated anyway. A period of intense grieving now will help much further along the road.
It gets easier.
Give us a shout if you fancy a pootle.
Can't imagine not having my Dad, that's horrible. Big hugs.
hugs and condolences from me too
have emailed you about tomorrow 🙂 (well trying to, hotmail is messing me around)
my condolences X
Oh sad sad time, virtual hug and thinking of you and all those who are going through hard times.
I never know what to say under such circumstances, so I'll just to add my condolences to the list and to wish you well.
Elaine, I saw my grandma go through many years of pain. A strong old fashioned lady reduced to such a frail figure. When my dad told me she had died, all I could say was "thank God for that" which sounds cruel but isn't. A persons soul is what they leave behind when they are gone. You'll remember the happy times!
Big hug, you know where we are
Kirsty sends her love
Have a hug from me.
He was one of the main resons you have a chance at life, I hope that you and your loved ones are OK.
All that really matters is how we effect other peoples lives.
What we stand for while we still stand, for shortly we will all fall.
Farewell.
Huge hugs E.
If I can help in any way please ask. I am here 🙂
Thinking of you my friend - you know where I am x
Sorry to hear the news C_G, heart felt thought go out to you and your family.
CG,
my thoughts are with you and your family; my father has been suffering from dementia for 8 years now. He's only 74.
A horrible disease and may I hope you enjoy the memories of him in happy times. I imagine you're in a rollercoaster of emotions; but I'm sure he's in a better place now.
Sorry to hear that mate all the best.
Sorry your dad has passed.

So sorry Elaine x
hugs and thoughts cg
Condolences to you and your family CG.
My own father has alzheimers and it has been painful watching him decline with the passing years, powerless to reverse the changes and also the increasing burden of care it places on those closest to the suffer.
Sorry to hear that CG.. condolencies.
Wish I didn't know how you feel but I do, take care x
really sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you and your family
