It's hard to say this sort of thing without sounding insincere, but, seriously, condolences. Remember the good times you had together. It may be painful to look back, but it's good to keep memories alive.
At the risk of stating the obvious, cancer really is a deeply horrid thing. I lost somebody very close to me to it a few years back and all I can say is that it really does become more bearable.
Had the funeral today. It was a lovely service, in memory of a unforgettable guy
though part of me has gone with you forever, your bravery and humour even until the end will inspire me forever. Even when you got really ill, you never nce showed any fear or let it get to you, you finished your degree and had an extremely active social life even through it all. In fact, you were more concerned for other people-making sure everyone was happy, and making everyone laugh.
I have the tendancy to get a bit dramatic and down about frankly, insignificant things. Arguments with my girlfriend. Job rejections. Bad days. But the fact that you kept your sense of humour, empathy and bravery even through hardships that I can't imagine will inspire me and puts it all into perspective. To summarise, I love you, and rest in peace.
I'm so sorry to hear this! I just stumbled across this thread as I'm in a similar situation. A friend of mine let it slip out in conversation on the phone a week ago he has been having chemo, he tries to keep it to himself. Yesterday we spoke and he told me he is 7 weeks into 12 of therapy he is a tattoo artist but is so Ill he is lucky to make 1 day a week and struggling financially so I'm going to go and see him today. As I'm sure he could do with a friend right now and I'll offer him financial support also so he can just focus on getting better. He's always been moving around so doesn't know anyone local i want him to know that he isn't alone.
I also watched my mum slowly die from 9 years old till 14, it's hard to watch someone you love slip away from you but stay strong for them.
I hope you look back with fond memories always and hope this gives you the strength to carry on, life isn't fair you just do the best you can...
