    I'm very sorry to hear it. My parents are both dead. Once sudden, one of lung cancer that spread to her liver. All I can say is the pain gets less over time. The hardest part is at the beginning when you want to pick up the phone and call and then you remember oh, I can't. But you just get used to it I guess and keep living because you know your parents would want you to be happy.

    Sawyer,

    If you haven't already, and I'm sure you have, check the Original Woodstock Movie for Joe Crocker's and Crosby, Stills and Nash's performances. Like chicken soup for the soul.

    Peace.

    Amazing doesn't even begin to describe Joe Cocker's cover of "I Shall Be Released" at Woodstock.

    Love and thoughts are with you.
    So much good advice in this thread. I've not lost a parent but I lost my grandfather who I lived with and who played a huge role in my life in 2010. All I can say is the talks we had prior to his death, the stuff he asked me do like extending a hand to family with whom there had a been a rift prior to my birth after his death, well doing those things made me feel like I could still make him proud of me, I could fix things and make them right when he was unable to do so.
    Cherish the time, don't be afraid to laugh.

    I'm so sorry to hear this Sawyer. I too am going through a similiar time with my step dad, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in November and now has lost most movement and speech. He is in a hospice type facility too.

    It is really hard to know how to deal with such a thing, when I visit him I just try to act like I normally would have around him. My main concern is now how my mum is coping - I try to be as supportive as I can.

    PM me if you want to talk.
    all you need is love, love is all you need
