We just found out my father has stage 4 lung cancer and I'm going crazy!! I have so many emotions and questions I can't stand it! It's only been 3 weeks, yesterday I felt so good and postive and today I was angry and right at this moment my heart actually hurts. So many different feelings.

I know how you are feeling I lost my dad in 1998.
He was my world,and a void in my heart will never be replaced.I don't and probably will never understand why the doctors didn't catch his lung cancer in time,he was in stage 4.I watched my mom struggle and have nervous breakdowns time and time about my dad.In 2005 she was murdered,my only consolation is that my parents are not suffering anymore...no more pain...and no more tears.
Even though I am left her with the burden of missing them.
I will keep you in my prayers and love your dad every moment.

I also can understand this. My dad was dx with stage 4 lung cancer in Dec of 07 and it has been a rollercoaster ever since. Im sorry to here about your dad, I also cannot see a world without him in it. It helps me to be involved, I go to all his treatments all his dr visits. I take notes and keep a log of his meds, chemo, blood count and weight. If nothing else it makes me feel like I am helping in some small way. Do you live close to your dad?

Good luck to the both of you. I wish you strength during this, you will need it.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
