    No matter how old or ill, we are in shock when it actually happens. I lost my father 21 months ago. Keep the warm memories near by as you grieve his loss.

    Lost my mother from brain tumor last summer she was at the same age with your father. I wish you courage cause it takes iron will to persevere these bad situations. I know it's not very comforting right now but our loved ones always will live in our deepest memories. Time does not heal but at least the pain will be less severe day by day.
