Hi all,

I've recently (in feb) lost my dad, he'd got over a primary cancer before my wedding in September 06 - only to be got again by another primary cancer (small cell cancer of the lungs) by Christmas and was given weeks to live, he died in Feb. We managed to do some last things together for which I'll be eternally grateful. I've been distraught, I miss him daily and the pain is huge, but a few things are helping me along this journey. My t'other half, me mum, family, friends and reading the mudcat forum for distraction. Thanks too for the lovely messages I've had from a few mudcatters who are friends known to me and friends I've not yet met. So thanks V much.

Take each day as it comes, love alot, talk alot and share thoughts and memories. Carpe Diem! You don't know what's around the corner.

Thanks all for your unintentional or unknown cheering up of, and for the threads that have made me laugh and cheered me up somewhat.

Regards,

Ella who is Soooze (suze).

One of our past Prime Ministers became (in)famous for his utterance "Life wasn't meant to be easy" - it's also was not meant to be fair or nice, or anything but what it is.

We all have regrets about not spending sufficient time with loved ones - at least you had some warning.

Carpe Diem!

BTW, The Fooles Troupe would be appreciative, should you have found any of their antics humourous, that you remember their motto


"Don't applaud, throw money!"

Thoughts sent from Yorkshire. I've had a similar experience and it is very, very hard - it takes time.

As the Queen Mum used to say about bereavement

It doesn't get any easier - you get better at it.

"This is a great bunch for picking you up when you're down. My condolences. "

I think that what I thought you meant you just said is not what you think you thought you meant you just said...

Two separate thoughts. A compliment to the group and condolences to Ella on the loss of her father.

Clear as mud now?

I heard a very wise thought on the radio today, a man said.
"I don't see a glass as half empty, and I don't see it as half full. I see it as needing topping up!"
Come to Mudcat and get your hugs topped up.

Today is the anniversary of my mother's death in 1981.
A few weeks ago it was the anniversary of my father's death in 1996.
Not a day goes by when they are not in my thoughts.
All I can say to you Ella is it does get easier.
And,yes,you are right, laughter is the best medicine.:0)

Time heals all wounds. That is so trite, but it is also so true.
I've lost both parents, three sisters and a brother. Another brother is about to check out. As an old sailor I know says, "It's a drill no one is excused from."

My best to you dear Sooze.

Thanks all, it really is a help. Thanks for the quote from the queen ma' I'd heard that one, but couldn't for the life of me remember where I'd heard it from.

It is hard, but can see it will get easier. Just a big gap.

Thanks all.

The optimist says the glass is half full.
The pessimist says the glass is half empty.
The engineer says the glass is the wrong size.
