Found out an hour or so before the Peterborough game that my dear old mum had passed away. Diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago. Went quietly in her sleep, but thankfully was never in any pain.
Thoughts are with all who grieve at this time.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Wow, some really sad posts that perhaps belong in a thread of their own.
My Dad has also been diagnosed with cancer recently, he's 70 now and starts a form of chemo soon. He's quite positive all things considered.

I've got experience of this shit too. My old man was 66 when he went. Had an agressive brain tumour, was give 6 months, lasted 10.
The hardest part to take was because it was a brain injury, his personality changed. Visted him as much as I could but he was never the same after the initial surgery. It's been 18 months and still miss the fuck out of him.
Take care chubbs.

Sorry to hear that Chubbs, I lost my mum and dad within 6 months of each other a few years back then my father in law and mother in law 6 months after, my mum and dad both had long term illnesses but you are never prepared for it whereas my mother in law and father in law both died very very suddenly with no warning, horrible situation and I do feel for you.
I resolved a while back to live for the day and enjoy what you have got while you have it after I had to be resuscitated after my spinal surgery, it brings it home how fragile life is and then again when I got the blood clots on my lungs and nearly died afterwards.
Since my recent cancer diagnosis I genuinely cherish every day (even if I dont look or sound like I do!)
Just remember the great memories and cherish them for that way he will never be far away mentally at least.
Stay as strong as you can be, best wishes.

So sorry to hear this and all the other posts, how sad life can be. My dad died when he was 55, never saw me married or his three grandchildren - now one of my children is fighting cancer herself and has two young boys, I am sure most on here will agree that life sometimes is not fair!!

Condolences Chubbs. You are his legacy and through you he still lives.
Some can go off the rails after a trauma like this - I'm a sad example - there'll be tough times ahead however keep spirited and optimistic.

Thanks for the kind words all. I was going through a few bits tonight and as i said he was a regular at the gym, ironically he was booked in for a health MOT tomorrow. Now things have started to sink in me, my sister and mum had a good laugh around the dinner table remembering him.

I had a relative pass away a few months ago to dementia.
That has to be one of the worst illnesses. A loved one not knowing who you are is hard, but having to also feed that person is heart wrenching.
I've said to the wife, that if I get dementia that bad, is that I do not want to live. It's not fair on anyone.

Agreed, horrible when a loved one doesn't recognise who you are. My 25 year old mate has been diagnosed with cancer in the last week, he's struggling big time with it. Puts everything into perspective

My father in law died in January with a vicious strain of Alzheimer's - I echo your sentiments. It was horrific and a nasty way to go. Condolences to all those on here affected by death and best wishes to those affected by illness.

Thinking of everyone who's told their story in this thread. Perspective on a Monday. I'm going to tell my wife & kids that they're brilliant this evening.
