    Dear Angie:

    I communicated with Michelle in the first page of her thread back in Aug 2021, and the last time she posted here was 2.5 years ago, back on Aug 14, 2021. I hope that she will read your post of today and respond.

    I can see how much in pain you’ve been and for so long, and I hope that you reach a better, more peaceful and accepting state of mind. If you would like to communicate with me/ other members, you are welcome to post again here, or start your own thread.

    Dear Angie

    I am sorry that you are struggling with the unpredictability of your father cancer journey and that your relationship with him has & is not always how you want it to be.

    My mum & I had an interesting relationship some times quite volatile verbally. Anyway in 2011 she a mole/growth removed from her hand it was cancerous. Many years later in 2016 it came back as a lump at the top of her arm which she found just after I had gone into a 3 month retreat in her kindness she instructed that I was not to be told until I came out on her birthday 1 June. when I heard I told my children that whatever Nan wants Nan gets & I tried to hold to that sentiment over the next 5 years of her life til her death from the cancer re-occurring.  Her final 5 days in hospital were peaceful and I was able to tell her I love her & thanked her for all that she had done for me & my family and how much she had helped people in our community.

    Kind regards

    Roberta

    Hi Michelle

    My father died three years ago. We have similarities in our situations. I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone with these feelings. I understand a lot of them. It’s normal and you’re allowed to feel them.

    As with everything, time helps. I hope you’re doing a bit better now.
