in Colorectal Cancer #1
Sorry for the lack of posting on topics but I've been experiencing so many deaths of people that I'm associated with. My sister in law died on the 4th, my friend died on the 3rd, my sister in laws mother died on the 31st my friends mom just died on the 25th. I'm an emotional reck. We are leaving in the morning for the funeral of my sister in law's mother. This is four deaths in such a short time. Three from lung cancer and one from pancreatic cancer. Sorry to be so negative but I'm struggling with all this right now and trying to figure out why.

Hugs! Kim

    Kim, That is indeed a lot of
    Kim, That is indeed a lot of dying in a few weeks time. And some close to home. So sorry for you and indeed difficult to deal with, sorrow in the family is never easy.
    However,try not to feel to down, we all know we need to be positive, mourning some one you love and care for is natural, but for a cancer patient we need to be positive.
    Therefor I wish you strength, and a BIG hug comes your way,

    I am so sorry Kim
    I think your struggle is normal. Sending hugs and hoping you're getting lots.

    I've not had as many deaths as you but am reeling from 2 deaths of people close to me in July. I can relate to the inability to work with words.

    all the best, Leslie

    Understandable Kim
    "Sorry to be so negative but I'm struggling with all this right now and trying to figure out why."

    Never apologize for being in poor spirit, and it's not hard to figure out WHY.. four losses due to cancer, and you're a cancer survivor? It's absolutely understandable!

    Thoughts and prayers going up for you Kim. Take care of yourself

    sorry Kim about all your loved ones. Cancer sucks and NOBODY should ever die from it. One day there will be a cure and I pray it will be while all my friends here and abroad with cancer live to see it. Remember don't let cancer control you....you control it. Fight like hell. Love and take care.
