I’ve been through this. It can be a difficult, but strangely beautiful process. I’ll keep you in my prayers.

Hey guy…when i was diagnosed with Spindle Cell Cancer in my life..that day was the saddest and most depressing in my life. I have long learned something..family brought me through the darkness and things happen for a reason everyone sees that reason diffrently. Dont worry about siblings be there for dad…pick up the phone..send cards and letters and always smile..thats what pulls someone out of the darkness..may god watch over your family..the best way to find his plan IS TO LISTEN..cherish the memories….Zman sends

it is sad and depressing, for me. for mom and dad, they’re both ready. family is all that matters in the end. my sister seems to be okay that i’m here, she’s at least talking to me and laughing about memories. and listening to mom and dad talk about dying can be hard at times, but it is getting easier. thanks.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My deepest hope is that this time will allow you to grow closer to your parents and to mend fences with the sibs.
Feel free to record/air/process your journey here….I, for one, will be here for ya through each and every post.

thank you. it helps knowing someone is on the other end listening.
