How do we cope with the shock and pain of losing a family member to cancer?!


Question:
Answers:
That's a tough one, it will take some time. First, remind yourself that your loved one is no longer suffering and is in a wonderful, peaceful place. I think even when you can accept this, there is still pain. A large part of that is due to your own feeling of loss, and dealing with the emptiness that person once filled. I believe the soul continues on, so in some sense that person never really leaves. They are just not a visible part of our lives. The love continues, and the memories never leave. You can still talk to them, some people find comfort in that. It would be VERY valuable for you to join a support group that focus on cancer. (your oncologist can tell you were they are). It will really help to know that your not alone. If this is something that has happened recently, allow yourself time to grieve. If it has been a little while, and your still are having trouble moving thru the grief, you may want to talk to a counselor for help. Your family member would want you to go on and have a healthy, happy life. You will honor them by doing that. Good luck, and I'm very sorry you have to go thru this.

Sorry about your loss. Try to find a grief support group in your area. If you are in or near a big city you can usually find one and they are usually free. Type "grief support group" or "cancer support group" into google.
you need to go and talk to someone who can help you. Its better you find someone who can help you now before you go farther into a state of depression.
just know that the family member is now no longer suffering in pain and is in a better place where youth and health is restored.
I went through the shock and pain when my father died of cancer. My pain didn't show up until i got older. I was a little girl when it happened. It's been over twenty years now and it still hurts. The loss will always be apart of your life. This may sound negative as if there were no way to cope but coping to me is taking each day one day at a time. Some days will be more difficult than others. Night times may be even harder. I could say to you remember the good times and I'm so sorry for your loss but remembering the good times doesn't always help someone cope with the loss. It hurts. One thing you can do is to try to take good care of yourself. It is easy to neglect yourself during times like these. Make sure you eat and try to get some sleep and talk to each other about how you feel. Time will take the edge off the pain but you will always miss this person.
