Father passed away

0 Recommendations

I am a new member and just wanted to let anyone know if you need to talk I am here. I feel I have been led by God to join this site. My father passed away not to long ago from lung cancer (he was a long time smoker). I have faced many struggles since his death but have found strength in God. Also, this is off topic but is there a site for divorce too? Sorry, but one of my struggles since dads passing is a divorce. Anyway, God Bless all who are struggling with this disease.

Dear Fearful,

I am sorry to hear you lost your wonderful father to lung cancer. I lost my father, mother and sister to this horrible disease, and now I am a lung cancer survivor of 14 years. My Condolences to you and your family.

I would like to share with you that there is a Bereavement site at Inspire that you may find more comforting in sharing your grief. Here is the website.

As for a divorce group, you might want to google Divorce Support Groups.

I know how devastating both losing a parent and a spouse whether it be to divorce or death, I think the feelings of hopelessness remain the same. i am sorry for both of these tragic events in your life, please feel free to write me anytime you need a fried, but also this is a great place to vent the feelings of grief, as mentioned, I am sure there are other sites also for the divorce, all the help you can get is the best medicine. God bless you.
