Sending you and Doug good vibes.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss. I have been there myself with a close family member but I am glad to hear he died peacefully without being in pain.

My thoughts are very much with you at this difficult time .

RIP Doug
 
So long as memories of people exist... they still exist. I'm not a spiritual person Helen, but people... I mean their personalities... they're thoughts... so as long as you keep his memory alive, both within you, and your family and friends.... he's still alive. I've lost people.. we all have, and so many times I remember stuff people said to me who are no longer here... people I knew so well, and when faced with decisions and tricky stuff, I end up asking what they'd do.... the memories come forward, and I get the answer, because their personalities are still alive in me. In that sense, the departed are always with us.

Small comfort I know... take comfort in that.
 
Thanks David and Sarah

Bit numb atm... from my Sarah's facebook... he truly was the funniest and grumpiest man I ever knew, but the was the best godfather anyone could ask for

Sorry to read this Helen, and my thoughts are also with all the other people who have lost loved ones. RIP Doug.

My mum has just been diagnosed with cancer of the overy, liver and spleen. I don't know what to do. I can't even face seeing my mum and dad at the moment it is too upsetting.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know its difficult, and I know its easy to say but they probably need you as much or more then ever. Go see them, its OK to be upset. But you'll regret it if you stay away.My Dad is very ill (not with cancer) but if I stayed away I know I would regret it. Doesn't mean its not incredibly difficult to go though

A friend of mine is now thankfully in remission from breast cancer. She always hated that many of her friends and family stayed away. Its still a big issue with her and her brother.

Something wonderful for me happened the day after Doug died
My best friend in my teens who I had lost contact with 25 years ago and also knew Doug, I found on Facebook, I had forgotten her married name, I had tried many times over the years to find her, then the day after he died I suddenly remembered, a bolt out of the blue, we have been reunited and it's been fantastic like we have never been apart. made me very happy :)
