My dad passed away

[Brainonska511]

Thank you all. It really means a lot in this particularly sucky time. We were kind of anticipating it in the coming year, just not expecting it so soon after new year's. But in the realm of all possible outcomes for him, at least he isn't suffering anymore.

I'll be joining your club soon...my father has advanced bladder cancer and will probably die within the coming weeks. It's awful watching him waste away. I feel for your loss and know what you're going through.

This is a fucked up club we got going here.

Got the extremely sad news this morning that my father passed away. He had a long (~15 years) struggle with a rare form ALS and a more recent struggle with metastatic prostate cancer. I feel like it was going to happen in the next year, just not so soon.

oh I am so sorry for your loss 😢

 

[Exterous]

Really sorry to hear that. Hope everything goes as well as it can for you and your family

It is. Getting older sucks. I'm in my early 50's and from others I've talked to this is the decade where you do nothing but deal with family loss while still dealing with young adult kids trying to get a footing in life.

Just have to remind ourselves that being an example of strength gives others stability.

So sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear that, man. You have possibly the best perspective to have in this situation, especially with something like ALS.

I lost my mom in 2017 and my dad in 2019, both wildly different circumstances. It doesn't get better, it's just different and a new normal. If you need someone to chat with, hit me up via PM.

RIP.

Sorry OP. Losing my dad was the worst thing that happened to me. You have my sympathies. I won't attempt advice, I'm just really sorry. Sorry for Fritzo too

My mom is working on her bucket list. Off someplace warm, swimming with dolphins. I'm trying to be happy for her and not think too much about what's in the mail. Her existing issues weren't fun enough, she has Lyme now too. Hurry the fuck up vaccine.

Sorry to hear that.

Condolences man. Lost my dad a little over a year ago, I find myself thinking about him often.

Condolences my friend….

Lost my father in July saw it coming well in advance so I sorta know how you feel!

Condolences friend. I, too, lost my father to cancer almost 3 years ago. He was golfing in March and gone by April 2. Barely had time to say goodbye.

Thank you. I just got word yesterday he has about 2 weeks left. They're starting him on morphine today for pain. My mom asked me to go to the store to buy some smaller pants for his funeral suit. That was hard to hear.

That sucks. I'm really sorry to hear about your father. My condolences in this difficult time.
