Sad news and Thank Yous

[nat_84]

Hi,

Most of you probably dont remember because it was about a year back when my boyfriends uncle was diagnosed with lung cancer - due to working with Asbestos since he was young.

Sadly, after much fighting and pain, he passed away on Sunday morning after his body had given up the fight with the Cancer.

Thank you to everyone for their previous kind advice and words of wisdom, i rememebr BabyJane in particular was amazing and not sure if she's still about on AB? Was wondering if anyone knew how she and her mum were doing?

Hi nat - I remember you from last year. Mainly because my wonderful dad died 4 years ago from lung cancer too.

Its such a hard time with mixed emotions. I remember my dad wanting to die and I could see why and sympathised with him but when he was gone and away from the pain I would have done anything to have him back.

Gradually the memories of him being ill will fade and all the good and funny memories will take their place.

Maybe my dad will be up there with a cold beer to greet him - I think thats a nice thought.

Sending you my love Sal x

Sorry to hear that Nat. In the end it becomes a blessing in disguise after you see a loved one suffer so much! Try not to be too sad! xoxoxoxoxox

I remember that Nat, it is sad news but hopefully there is some consolation in the fact that he no longer has to suffer.

Perhaps he is up there with Sally's dad having a beer.

Sadly Baby Jane's mum also passed away. She doesn't come on here much anymore but I know that she found it terribly hard to deal with even though she knew her mum was finally at peace.

nat, so sorry to hear your sad news. I hope you and your boyfriend can find some comfort in these words, I still do after losing my step mum nearly 2 years ago after a stroke.
God saw you getting tired
A cure was not to be
So he out his arms around you
And whispered "come with me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away
Although we love you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best

Sorry to hear this Nat - my best friends step dad died from 'asbestosis' just before Christmas and it was avery sad time.
Is his family getting legal help as there may be a case for compensation from the company he worked for. My friends Mum needed help as there were issues about his pension which the company tried to wriggle out of.

That is sad news nat honey , my father also passed away from lung cancer some years ago and , while he was at last out of suffering , it was still a hard loss of a dear loved one. Thinking of you and your bf at this time. x

So sorry to hear the news. Even when you 'expect' it, the actual passing is still a shock. Love to you and Mr Nat.

nat
So sorry to hear of your loss.
All the pain and suffering has gone now.
Hang in there, both of you. Support each other and think on all the good times you and your boyfriend shared with his Uncle.
God Bless. xxx

Massive thank you to you all, your kind words mean a lot and psychick that poem is beautiful. I will send it to Mr Nat and i'm sure it will help him through things easier.

As i said previously his Uncle's are his Father figures as he lost his dad when he was 8, so its been extra difficult.

Your comments have been truly touching and im terribly sorry to hear about all your sad losses and also Baby Janes mum. x
