Last Thanksgiving my best friend died of cancer.
In May my Dad died of cancer and Mom just died suddenly a month ago. Now my dog has Limes disease and he looks bad. I sure hope things turn around, cause I can't seem to get a handle on things these days. It feels like somebody smacked me in the head and I am dazed.

After loosing my parents I realized I was the grown up now. Kinda sobering. No parent to ask guidence of! Also, no one to ask about my history or when and how did such and such take place. I felt kinda lonely even though I had my own family by then. I still miss them and it's been 7 years since mom died, 21 since dad died. I too have been thru bad times, I guess we all have. Keep the faith and life will get better. Post again whenever you feel the need. Dave.

This may not help too much but it puts it in perspective for me. Most everyone has to bury their parents (it is part of life) Hopefully your parents lived past 70-75 and they did most of what they wanted to do B4 they died. But....have you ever buried a child, I did once 8 years ago....Real tough, (basically a real bad miscarrage that my wife had, she was 6.5 months pregnant.) I now have a son, He is now 6 years old and is my boy, very good kid. I have a friend that had a son who commited suicide at 22 years old, super sad. absolutely crushing to say the least. This friend of mine was off of work for 3 weeks afterwards. Another friend of mine who is 39 now had his dad die of colon cancer 3 years ago, his dad was 58, horrible brutal death. As my friend was in the dumps he realized that his dad died of cancer because he chose to do nothing with the signs of colon cancer and died from it. And burying your children is far worse. As for your friend dieing, that sucks. Did you get to see him before he/she died.? I have not lost a good friend....Yet. Hopefully not for a long time. Remember that God still loves you, life is a real *itch sometimes. My father in law died a year ago from bladder cancer, real bad way to go too. My FIL died because he chose to do nothing about blood in his urine. I guess he had blood for years and did nothing about it until too late. It is real tough to explain why grandpa died to my boy (who was 5 when he died) Explaining heaven to a 5 year old is tough. Explaining cancer is real tough too. My bed side manner is not good but I hope this helps.

Know what you mean redneck. We lost a daughter 24 years ago. She was 5 months old. Passed away totally unexpected from crib death. She was OK when I went to the barn in the morning. The wife came running down barefoot in the snow a few hours later and she was gone. Not something you ever get over,you just learn to live with it.

Somebody on the next page was saying pretty much the same thing. I said to him that it amazes me sometimes to see where somebody ends up compaired to where they were a few years ago. Old farmers who have lost their wives and can't even run the washing machine,much less feed themselves. I'll go from talking to them over the bed of a pickup with tears in their eyes,to running in to them a few years later,all dressed up,sporting a new wife and a big smile. On their way to somewhere or telling me about where they've been. They usually end up with some spry widow with some money and a hankering to travel. They end up a long way from the farm that consumed their lives with their first wife and find a whole new life they had never dreamed of. Hang in there,get a social life,meet some new people and enjoy the rest of your life. It's happened to lots of folks.

My dad always told me that God never burdens a man with more than he can handle.

Hang in there, Brother. Every rainstorm gives way to sunshine sooner or later.

Keep the Faith, do your work and things are bound to come around.

Sorry to hear about it. I have heard that these things can run in threes, maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel. You have been on the forums for a long time and, if it helps, you are NOT alone and people ARE praying for you.
