Adele releases album that can't be streamed. Lots of people find money to buy an album all of a sudden and all sales records get broken. Oh music industry, you're so bloody daft.
Man it's ****. My uncle is close to dying from cancer now. He has to have chemo and blood transfusions just to live over Xmas. It's starting to hit my dad big time now and he has closed up. My dad and his other brother had to do the will the other day. So it isn't getting any better.
Oh Beefy, that's horrible fella. I lost my mum to cancer 5 years ago this month. She fought it over an 8 year period and it is a tough, tough thing to deal with. Thoughts with you and your family, mate.
Thanx FLT and sorry for your loss. The worse thing is my uncle lost his wife 5yrs back from cancer. Now the same is happening to him. He didn't want to do chemo etc but wants to see his son one last time at Xmas. It's just ****.
That's awful. I can't imagine how horrible your situation is. The only thing I can relate to it is when my late grandmother had Alzheimer's and I just watched her deteriorate over a short space of time. Thoughts with you and your family.
Sorry to hear this, Beef. It's an awful thing to go through - all the best. Thinking of you. There are no other words one can say.
No way round this Beef, it's a horrible situation (similar type of thing with my old man 15 years ago) - sorry to hear you're going through it.
That's going to be tough for everyone, not least yourself, Beef. There are no words to comfort you in that situation but all I can say is: be strong for your uncle and your dad particularly, but don't feel you always have to be strong. You know you can always come on here and cry on our shoulders if you need to, that's what we're here for.
Sorry to hear that Beef. It's tough to see your parents struggling with grief too. My Mum died of cancer when I was 8. The girl I'm seeings mum died of cancer when she was 20. Unfortunately it's one of those things that affects the vast majority of us. All you can do is keep going and get through it the best you can and with time, things will get easier.
It is indeed, no doubt. But one thing I can tell you from experience is that things aren't always this bleak. As Chilcs says, be strong for your dad, but never feel bad if you don't feel strong at times. You'll all get through everything, no matter what and no matter how any moment might feel.
So sorry to hear this, Beefy - my Dad died of cancer over 25 years ago so I have an idea of what you're going through. As others have said, don't try to be strong all the time and when the time comes, grieve the way that you need to grieve, not how others expect.
Beef so sorry to hear this, my dad died of cancer 2 years ago, cancer is a C*nt, just be there for your dad and your uncle and don't worry about not feeling strong all the time, I cried like a baby for what seemed like forever, It gets better, Cherish the good times where and when you can dude.
Although, I have to point out, 'aye' is actually pronounced 'i', and thus if pronounced correctly would not be correct in 'pronunciation'.
Yes, thoughts are with you, Beefy. My wife's mum died of cancer a almost a year ago. A few days after her birthday, but didn't quite make it to Christmas, and as a result it will affect our Christmases forever. Horrible, drawn out way to go, and my wife still cries now, but she said it definitely does get easier slowly with time. Seeing the kids' section of the hospice she was in really brought everything in life into huge perspective. Enjoy your Christmas as best you all can - hopefully it will stick in the memory for the right reasons.
