HELLO
I am new to this forum but my mum also died from ovc at the age of 52 and i can totally relate to how you feel I was 8 months preg at the time with her 1st granchild and lived at home(my husband and i did not have our own home then), i helped nurse her but luckly for my mom she was only ill for 6 months from diagnosis through radio therapy to death. That was 24 year ago and although i still miss her like hell and dream about her all the time i have learnt to appriciate that she did not suffer as much as i know others have.
My youngest daughter is so much like her,that my dad finds comfort in her(they are so close)and although he married again and this wife also has now got terminal cancer, he finds great strength from my daughter. Who i must say has such apathy with my dad its uncanny(as soon as she was born my dad said she looked like my mum),nobody can replace our mums, but i would not want to anyway. I try hard to remember the good times and tell my girls all about her. One day we will meet again and when that day comes i will say all the things i wished i had said when she was alive.
goodnight.
goodbless.

hi thanks for your reply, sorry for your loss too and that your dad is ill, it is very hard isnt it? but i know life has to go on if not what is the whole point of our parents. i hope your dad is not in any pain, that is all we can ask for when our loved ones are dx with a terminal illness. my thoughts are with you. x
