My boyfriend's dad passed away at the age of 56 on Wednesday.


I wanted to thank you all, especially Judy for the support and advice you gave me here.


He passed away at an in-patient hospice facility. He had just been transfered there on Monday and it wasn't until Tuesday night that they got the pain under control. We were by his side when he passed. He was peaceful, but it was pretty traumatic for us. I told him I would take good care of hi sson and that we'd make sure his daughter was taken care of, and then right then he took his last breaths.


We're both doing okay. We've been keeping ourselves busy. We started packing up his things today at his place and had a good laugh at some of the old pictures we found.


I just hate cancer. :(

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your bf in this difficult time.

Your bf will now need you like never before. I know, my mom passed back in May and only now is it really sinking in. My husband is my main support. He's been wonderful, doing housework when I cannot, and holding me when I cry.

I hate cancer, too. It took away the person I was closest to after my husband in a slow, lingering, painful way. My dad will probably some day succumb to his bad heart, and it will be less cruel- it will take him relatively suddenly.

It so happens that I am a little afraid right now- a few weeks ago I thought I found a lump in my left breast. I haven't located it again, but I am going in for my annual on Wednesday, a month early. When I think of my mom's history repeating itself with me I become terrified.

Express.
