When you lose a parent it’s like the simplest things is what you miss the most .... I lost my father back in 2018 I was 23 years old. It’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of him. Sometimes I just get hit with a wave of pain but I know he wants me to be happy and continue on with my life.

Hi , I lost my dad this morning to this same exact cancer he battled the cancer for a year and a half . I feel your pain right now 😢😢😢 I wasn’t able to see my dad unfortunately due to the virus he’s in another country btw . But I was able to talk to him , he wasn’t able to respond and went blind during the last two months . But I told him it’s okay whatever happens and I love him and he started to cry . He held on for one more week and then I got the news this morning . He died Alone and I can’t imagine what he was thinking or feeling especially being blind . But my aunt said he looked peaceful . Thank you for this I feel so alone right now especially since I’m young (21) and I feel like no one understands the pain and emptiness that I feel right now . This is day one for me , I hope things get better ❤️ I don’t know you but I know how you feel 😢 . I pray things will get better for us .

My dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma in June of 2021. He took every treatment and did everything they asked of him. He obviously deteriorated on his mobility throughout this process. He was still with it though. He took a lot of naps and was always tired. He collapsed in the shower on Sunday 1/23/22. Had to have an ambulance to transport him to the hospital. It's 1/25/22 and he can't even walk now. He was still able to respond to yes or no simple questions. Anything else, he can't and just gets confused and doesn't talk. The shit comes quick on how fast they deteriorate from this. Appreciate every moment you have and never take it for granted.

I just lost my dad 2 weeks ago, I’m also in my junior year of college too and I feel your exact pain about graduation and when I get married. But just like you, the one thing that keeps me going is that he’s with God in heaven, and hearing testimonies and even watching Long Island medium where people can connect with their loved ones has brought me comfort, my dad also had an experience where he died during surgery and he saw his loved ones and said it was beautiful and then he was brought back, so just know your dad sees so much beauty and they will look down on us and give us signs that they’re with us throughout our lifetime. I feel your pain. Praying for you and your family ❤️

I lost my father exactly 5 days ago, he had a colon cancer, they did a surgery and it went great, but the cancer was later found in the liver, the same doctor did another surgery and it went great, my family said my father is finally cancer free, months later doctor found cancer tumor in the liver again, a few months later the tumor size increased a lot, it became 13 cm, it was too much, he felt pain in his last month, couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep or go to the bathroom alone, he was struggling, finally he passed away, I love you so much dad, there are a lot of things I wish I told you about, I feel guilty I didn't speak to you a lot because I have depression, but the good thing is my dad knew I was taking pills, he knows I love him, rest in peace dad.

My heart hurts so much right now,watching my daddy on life support fighting for his life has really been tough ,the thought of not having him around is a nightmare to me.ive always been daddys girl,my prayers are with you

My dad had the same brain cancer. He died this week and it's so surreal. It's so hard for me to realize everything that happened since he was diagnosed 15,5 months ago... All the surgeries, therapies, different hospitals... In the end he had so much pain and I hope he's in peace now 😔

You posted this on the day I lost my dad. I needed this. Send you love, stay strong

I can’t even imagine having to go through this... I’m thinking of you and your family and we are all sending you love❤️

Lost my dad 2 weeks ago due to small cell lung cancer. I tried to help him until the last breath. I lost a part of my heart. But my dad and for sure your dad want us to be strong and go ahead in our lives. Guys we must be strong

It’s been 3 months since holding my dad while he took his last breath to cancer 💔 I don’t feel like times healing I feel worst, I feel for anyone going through this or has been through this 💔

i’m so sorry! i can’t imagine what you and your family are going through but you’re all in my thoughts❤️

I lost my father 2 weeks ago. I listened to this with much sadness.

I lost my Dad 2 days ago and I am heart broken beyond anything I have ever felt before!! Cherish them

I just cannot even imagine what you went through. I am so sorry you lost him so soon. I’m sending my prayers to you and your family. Thank you for sharing and stay strong Rachel ❤️❤️

you are so strong rachel. i know the way you deal with the loss of your amazing dad will speak to and encourage so many. ❤️

I feel so broken after losing my dad earlier thus year. I can’t thank you enough for the video and the community you’ve created. Reading the comments alone can ‘help’ sometimes. Glad I found you. Hugs and prayers all around. 💔

I just lost my mother yesterday (as of this post) to metastatic colon cancer. She took her last breaths as I held her hand, and I'm struggling second-by-second not to shatter to a million pieces. I keep hearing her voice on replay, knowing I'll never hear it again. I'm not sure where to go from here, but I'm going to keep pushing forward if not for myself then for her. No matter how much you prepare for the end, you are never truly ready.

I lost my dad last month. he died of a heart attack, alone while brushing his teeth. my mom and I moved far away from my hometown last year so I wasn’t there when he passed. I’m 17. today is his birthday. I can’t imagine this pain ever leaving. I’ll never get over that I didn’t get to say goodbye and that he’s never going to be here again. this hurt is unreal

Hi, thank you for sharing your story. We found out my dad has terminal stage 4 brain cancer about 2 months ago. And its going to get to this very quickly, and it was really great to find this content and to see someone else know the same pain. You are an encouragement thank you

Love you cousin, i called your mom yesterday because i had a vision of your dad and telling him news about my mom during her hospice the last 3 weeks... it was about one of the many blessings during that time and i could hear and see him saying "praise the Lord" so clearly. Love you, Andrew

This broke my heart. 🥺 You remind me of me when I lost my dad in Sept 29,2013 at 21. It's the weirdest time of your life because you're focusing on college and leaving home and your hold world seems to crumble. Sending you so much love. So sorry for your loss. Your dad is right there with you through all of this.

Thank you very much for sharing this. I know it's hard to think about. As a future healthcare professional, your honesty helped me better understand what the families of patients like your father go through. May God be ever merciful, and may his resting place be paradise.

I lost my father to lung cancer, not even a week ago so I feel you.

My heart breaks for you. Hearing you talk about your dad and your experience made me feel less alone. I don’t have siblings or anyone I know my age who has gone through this. I’m 27. My dad died of stomach cancer November 18, 2020. Watching him go through everything he did and not recover is the worst pain I have ever known. I understand what you mean about “forgetting” that he is gone sometimes. It just doesn’t feel real. I cried so hard when you talked about all the things you wish he’d be here to see. I think about that too, and all the things he was looking forward to in his own life. It really hurts. Thank you for making this video and telling your story and talking about your dad. You seem like a really nice person with a great family. Your dad clearly loved you all a lot. We will get through this. Sending love.

Am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how hard it is to loose him😢🙏, for me I lost a friend who loved me and who I couldn't show him the care and love and I regret it so so much and I am always fighting time to not forget his voice or his face , thank you for sharing this with us, keep strong ❤🙏. yoau re so pretty stunning queen

im sorry for all those who lost their loved ones.you are so incredibly strong.they must be so proud of you.so am I,for your strength.keep pushing♡you got this.im here with you♡:)

Hi. I came across your video tonight in search of something relatable, as I've felt so alone through my process of grief so far. I lost my dad less than 2 months after you lost yours, to Brain Cancer as well. The diagnosis started as Stage 3 Lung Cancer in February 2020. In August he was told he was in remission and that they treated and got rid of all the Cancer cells. Less than two weeks after, he had an episode and was rediagnosed with Stage 4 Brain Cancer. I came home in October to help my mom take care of him in hospice. He passed away in our dining room, in his hospice bed. I relate to so much of what you've shared and I'm sending you so much love and strength. If you ever want to connect or talk, I would love that. I hope your grief has become a little lighter by the time you've read this. ❤

You are so brave and strong for sharing this especially since it's still very raw for you.. I lost my dad to cancer in 2019 when i was 19 years old in my first year of college. There isn't a day that goes by that it doesnt hurt. But all i can say is that it does get somewhat easier with time...It took me more than a year to feel like I could breath again. Every person is different though. Praying for you and your family.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’ll be praying for you ❤️

I am so sorry for your loss. He is resting in heaven. God bless you.

Am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how hard it is to loose him😢🙏, for me I lost a friend who loved me and who I couldn't show him the care and love and I regret it so so much and I am always fighting time to not forget his voice or his face , thank you for sharing this with us, keep strong ❤🙏.

Hi Rachel. Thank you for sharing your story. My dad has been suffering from the same cancer that your dad had. Unfortunately I’m away from where he lives and the corona virus makes us stay away from each other so it was almost one year ago when we met the last time. Since few weeks ago he’s not doing well and I think maybe there are just only few months or every weeks left. I’m not ready for that but your video definitely encouraged me and I just wanted to say thank you. I’m sorry I’m not really good at English so apologize if it’s hard for you to understand my message but I’ll send my love from Japan. Stay strong 💗

I lost my dad to cancer 2 years ago. They’re always with us in our hearts❤️ Thinking of you and your family ❤️❤️

I’m so sorry, you will always be connected.💕

Thank you for this video Rachel. Just found out my dad has limited time left after brain cancer diagnosis. You have helped me prepare for what I know is ahead.

I'm crying with you... my dad passed away 2 months ago from a brain related disease... and I'm just having a terrible time dealing with the loss... 🤗 I just send you a hug... lots of love for you and your family... and I hope you're doing better... as I know how hard it can be...

Hi Rachel I'm so sorry for your loss and how it was.. I did lose my dad on the 24th of this month to leukemia and a bleed on the brain but he fought it for so long and I'm so proud of him, I missed him as he passed as I was in the way to him so I'll miss him always. Thank you for your video your an inspiration xx

Tank you so much for this. My dad was diagnosed last Friday with metastatic lymphoma in his brain after being cancer free for 2,5 years. And yesterday we got news that he will die because of it. We don’t know yet how long he still has but whatever time they give him it’ll be way to short. I just hope he doesn’t suffer too much. Stay strong💖

*it’s the middle of the night and i have school tomorrow but this needs to be said.*my dad died from stage 4 brain cancer when i was 7 years old. i don’t remember a lot but i didn’t really know what was going on, i was confused and scared. he had three surgeries before he died. after he was diagnosed he was only expected to live three months and he lived another three years. after a while and a few surgeries he couldn’t use his left arm and he would limp on his left leg. he was having seizures and he wasn’t talking right a lot of the time. he was just getting worse and worse and at that point we got hospice come to our house and in my moms bedroom he had a hospital bed and at that point it was like he was in a coma. he could eat, drink, go to the restroom, move, etc. i only got to see him once before he died because i was at my cousins house for about a week while he was really sick because i think my mom didn’t want me to be there because of what was going on. when i got home i went into my moms bedroom and my mom carried me over to him in his bed, he looked like he was asleep basically. he was unconscious and i was too scared and confused and i just told my mom to let me go and i ran out of the room and i never got to see him after that. the night that he died i was sleeping over at my neighbors house because my house was so crowded with family and friends, etc. he died at about 3:15am that night, july 17, 2016. i am confident that he is in heaven with god right now catching all the fish in heaven. i was so young when he died and he was sick so again i was confused. now that i am older i realize how real it was and how much i regret not seeing him more and not spending more time with him when he was sick. i try my best not to think about my regrets because we were very fortunate and i’m grateful that he lived for way longer than he was expected. i don’t remember his voice, what he looked like (sort of), his presence, the way he acted, etc. kind of like what she said it just sucks that he won’t see me graduate, walk me down the aisle, etc. he was a very strong and important man, he had five kids, a wife, family, friends. so with saying all of that i KNOW how your feeling. i love you so much girly. it sucks what’s happening but it could’ve been so much worse. i hope that it gets better and trust me it’s been four years since my dad died, it gets easier. i promise it does. and one day in heaven you WILL see your dad again, same with me. i love you!

I’m sorry for your loss but im sure he looking down and watching over you as your guardian angel

Ty for filming this. It’s so helpful to people.

My heart goes out to you. I lost my dad to Glioblastoma brain cancer. Still can’t believe it and it was 4 years ago. It messed me up. Credit to you for being so bold and God bless you.

Thinking of you and sending all of my prayers, and I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so so sorry for your loss! Stay strong! 🙏

my dad is dying too from lung cancer. Watching him die is the MOST PAINFUL THING I'VE EVER BEEN THROUGH. thank you for sharing.

😭😭😭 prays to your family and you ,.im soo happy to have crossed through ur videos keep doing more ... ur very inspiring .💛

I just lost my dad last month on his 60th birthday from a cardiac arrest. My heart has been so broken ever since. Much love your way. Thank you so much for sharing 😢

My name is also Rachel and I’ve just lost my dad (just over a week ago) to brain cancer. My thoughts go out out to you and I just wish this damn disease didn’t exist

I hope you get better and I hope you stay strong and keep your head up. I will be praying for you! ❤

i just lost my dad to brain cancer just under two weeks ago, and i cannot relate to the "grief fog" more

i’m so sorry :( my grandpa just passed from a stroke the pain can be unbearable but you have to remember that they’re in so much less pain now. don’t bury the memories or associate them as bad to think about stay strong xx

M watching this while my dad is taking his treatment now he has also brain cancer. M sorry for ur loss . i hope u re doing well now. I need ur prayers guys this period is so much difficult to handle

Im so sorry for your loss stay strong!!❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss. stay strong.

I lost my dad last month. He had a mass on his lung had no idea until it was too late. He also had congestive heart failure. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I'm so sorry.

Rachel, love and hugs from my heart to you about Dad!!! 💜💜🤗🤗

Thank you for speaking about this ..I'm going through the same thing with my Dad . He has the hospice bed at his house ...he has had two brain surgery a and the treatments just like your Dad ...this is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with....I'm just really sad because he is gonna pass any day now and I'm having a tough time ....I'm so sorry about your father and I understand how painful it is....thank you for sharing and it haa helped me .

I'm so sorry for your loss and praying & sending hugs. I just lost my dad Monday, Feb. 8th pancreatic cancer after finding out he had it 4 months earlier. I always forget that he's gone and last night I had to fix something on my own because I didn't have him and just felt like crying because I couldn't tell him about how I fixed it myself. It's so hard to think he won't be here for my bf to ask him for his blessing, him walking me down, or having a first dance. People always tell me to stay strong and it'll get easier, but that makes it hard to talk to them because they don't understand how much pain I'm in because they still have their dad

I lost my dad 3 months and 6 days ago to lung cancer. I cry everyday and the hurt and pain is so real. He declined so quickly in front of us and seeing him cry and fighting is something I can't get out of my head. It breaks my heart everything I think of it all. I was a daddy's girl and having him snatched out of my Iife is so painful.

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard losing someone so close and dear. I just recently lost my best friend in September to suicide. She was one of the happiest people I’ve ever met. The day before she did it she sat there and told me how she can’t wait to open up her own tattoo shop. I understand the picture that never goes away. I replay the call I got that morning over and over in my head. I think you’re so brave for being able to talk about this. I have a really hard time even talking about her without breaking down. You’re so strong and you’ll get through this. Grief is such a hard thing to deal with. Try to keep your head up and remember to take care of yourself. It’s so easy to get engulfed by all the grief. He might be gone, but don’t forget he’s near and always watching you. I know we don’t know each other, but know I’m thinking about you and your family. 💓

Very sorry for your loss , sending love 💕

Lost my dad to liver cancer at 52 years old. I know your pain. Stay strong

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel I lost my dad 10/17/20 praying for you and your family.

My condolences to you and your family ❤️ Keep your head up high!!

Sending my condolences for you and your family, it's okay you will be fine, just keep your head up high and he's watching iver you fron heaven just keep that in mind. He loved you and always did never loose hope he's a part of your hart forever now

Sorry for your loss, I just lost my dad to Cancer as well yesterday, so I feel your pain.

My Dad was diagnosed with Glioblastoma January 2020. Two craniotomies. Multiple chemo and radiation treatments, Avastin, and Optune. For the majority of the time, he did well. 20 months in now, and he has recently made a sharp decline. The pain is indescribable knowing there is literally nothing you can do to save them. It is a hell I wish on no one. Crying right along with you in this video. Thank you for posting. Let's me know I am not alone.

i dont know if you're still on this channel, but I wanted to thank u so much for this video. I lost my dad last September and it's been very difficult. I can't describe how thankful I am for this video, letting me know that I am not alone on this journey.

My papa ( my moms mom) died from this as well in October of last year. I know how you feel. You and your family are in my prayers. 💗

My dad has stage 4 lung cancer (he’s never smoked). I’m 13 and I know how it feels. I’m dreading the day I lose him 😔

I lost my dad 2 days ago to AML leukaemia. He was diagnosed and passed about a month later. I’m absolutely devastated and now feel so lost, I don’t know how I’m expected to carry on with my life when he’s not here. We were so close my whole life and I am the person I am today because of him. He passed 5 days before his 54th birthday and I’m dreading the day. It was a very traumatic experience and we were with him everyday and overnight when he cried. Nothing feels really anymore and I’d give anything to get rid of this pain

I don’t know if you read these . But I lost my ether to pancreatic cancer . It’s....it hurts so bad. Dad. You were my best friend. And losing you felt like my world has been destroyed.

I’m sorry, I’ve always had a fear of losing a special someone and I just wanna say it’ll be ok.

My dad is in his last couple of week's of life, he battled a glioblastoma multiforme.. he was still somewhat lucid, he asked us to put him in an induced coma in hospice as the pain was becoming unbearable.. this illness is horrible is death in slow motion, after the surgery ( September 10) he was completely fine, 2 week's after he started losing strength and balance, eventually he needed a wheelchair as he couldn't walk, nevertheless he could still talk normally, eat by himself and text on the phone etc.. couple of week's after he started losing mobility and his speech stared to become less eloquent. Month and a half after surgery he basically couldn't move at all, could still swallow eat and talk to us but every other movement he needed help with, at this stage we suspended chemo and radio as there was no chance for recovery, treatment would only prolong his suffering.. Yesterday (December 25th) he asked my mum and I to put him on an induced coma at home, it was his will and we followed it, I'm amazed he could still talk and understand us, he fought so hard.. at least now he is not suffering and he will die peacefully surrounded by his loved ones. Just like your dad , I'm sure he can still hear us, apparently the ear is the last thing that shuts off, so we talk to him every day remembering good times and filling him with love.. thanks for sharing your story

My dads in a similar situation. Thank you for sharing this

0:34 You made the right decision. You cant fake that you're doing fine.

The things happens so fast , years turn into days. God bless your family .

Im so sorry for your lose i have also lost a parent and it dose get better i promise 💗

My dad died in 2017 of cardiac arrest. In 2019 my mom met a really nice guy. Over the years we have been having so many fun memories. November 2020 Tyler was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. We used are time wisely. We all had hope with him. I watched this video in July and thought, “I hope this doesn’t happen with Tyler.” September 27, 2021 Tyler took his last breath in our house. A few weeks before he had a seizure while dropping off at school. Anyone who met Tyler never could imagine him without a smile. When I say I know how you feel, I do know.

Exactly one month ago I lost my dad to the same exact brain cancer. His cancer journey was very similar to your dad. It still doesn’t feel real I will miss him everyday.

girl my dad passed away a week ago. The pain feels like yesterday, i hope ur doing well now. Love you ❤️

I lost my father last august. Liver cancer that spread everywhere including the brain. It all happened so fast.it was too late for treatment.He was gone within a couple of weeks after diagnosis. During that time he declined so much. Lost so much weight, lost ability to walk, could drink or swallow anything .(it spread to his esophagus too.)It was really the most scarring,traumatizing and gutting thing that I have ever went through. Always having nightmares and always crying.

My Dad died back in 2017 due to lung cancer. But I dont believe we've lost our Dads, I think they are just in a better place waiting for us :) I wish you all the best in the world!

Hugs did you find any other books and how are you still copping with it ?

I just lost my Dad to cancer & covid. I'm still in shock & absolutely devastated. It's a pain unlike any other thing I've known & I have been through alot. I'm sorry for anyone who has lost someone close to them. Let's all try to stay strong together as hard as it is.

My daddy was diagnosed 4 days ago with stage 4 cancer in his lungs and it metastasized through his entire body,he also took a stroke bc of a tumor that ruptured he is now on life support and we are hoping and praying for him !! Please pray for us!!

Rachel. I feel what your feeling. I lost my dad April 30, 2019. He has leukemia, the doctors found a mass in his brain a month before he passed.. I still mourn him like it was yesterday that he passed. I was there and my last words to him was I love you as I held his hand. And that was the last time I talked to him. I am so sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you. Just know that there is not a time limit on mourning a parent. 🌷

I’m currently losing my grandpa due to cerebral hemorrhage.unfortunately there’s not much doctors can do.i’m a person that in general doesn’t show emotions but deep inside i’m hurting.good luck grandpa ❤️

I lost my dad to cancer, im so sorry for your loss. My dad has ben gone for 12 years and it still feels like it was yesterday he was my best friend and im sure your dad was yours im sorry for your loss I know what your going through.

I feel you 💔. My father died of Corona on May 26th so just a few days ago.He was 54 years old, vaccinated and healthy. I am only 22 years old and my brother 19. We didnt expect that at all..We had so many things to do ....Nobody except someone who has experienced this can understand how this pain feels. Hopefully God gives us the strength to go on living and make our fathers proud.Thank u for this video ,it reminded me that Im not alone with this pain and sadness🖤💔❣

....im so sorry that you suffered this. It is not easy. I ended up giving my father my last goodbye before administering his last dose of meds...i kept writing to him....but he was gone. I understand fam...its so hard.

This hits me so hard because I lost my dad to skin cancer when I was 10 and I’m 16 now and I miss him so much every single day 😭😭

Hey Rachel, I feel like God really led me to stumble upon your video. I just lost my day July 20th, 2021 I just turned 25 last week. He fought a 1 in a million cancer diagnosis, Angiosarcoma. He was diagnosed last December right before Christmas and it completely changed our world. He had his last birthday on July 11th. It was his 49th birthday, we couldn't even celebrate because he was in the hospital. I wanted to say I know that last little glimmer of a good moment. I shared one with my dad as well that I will cling on to for the rest of my life. I just wanted to say that I can sincerely feel ever bit of your pain through your video. I know that thinking of those last few days of when he was here is gut wrenching, and sad and some spots of happiness all rolled into one. I just wanted to tell you thank you for sharing your story. Hearing it, made me feel not so alone at the moment and I am so sorry for what your family has suffered through. I just pray that you and your family are still healing and finding comfort in some way. May God bless you and surround you all in his love.

I lost my dad in January 2011 to cancer I was 7 years old. 11 years and it still feels like it was yesterday I needed this tonight to know I’m not alone

I lost my dad yesterday 10-18-21 to a seizure he was heavy in alcohol and was very weak he was 62 I can’t stop crying it’s so hard , my head is fogged up I need someone’s help on coping

Hello I went through a lot last 2 years,my mom passed away in 2019 from a cancer ,and after I coping up from my mom’s dead ,this year August my sister got married,after 1 week me and my father got covid 19 and after 1 month fro that day my dad passed away I prayed a lot but nothing happened he passed away,now I’m all alone at my home I’m not happy like before and my faith also fading away little by little but I still trust god I want to know how to stay alone because I’m getting afraid sometimes I feel like no one is with me and no one will take care of me like my father and mother,if I got sick who is going to take care of me like that kind of thoughts coming to my mind,can you please tell me how to be happy again and how to make my faith stronger again thank you so much god bless you 🙏🏻

I just came across this video a few minutes ago and I know how you feel. I lost my Dad on Tuesday morning. He had issues with seizures since I was little and in recent years he began having mobility issues. Earlier this month he fell and broke a few ribs. He went to the hospital and fell a few more times when he came home and then went into a rehab center and things went downhill really fast. I learned on Sunday he was in the dying process and didn’t have long to live...on Monday night he was moved to hospice and he passed at 6:40am on Tuesday. I never got a chance to properly say goodbye to him in his final moments thanks to the COVID mess and I’m falling apart because of it. I hope you and your family are doing better😊 but I thought I’d share my story too. Stay strong.

Prayers going up 🙏 I know how you feeli lost my mom in83 and my dad in 85 I think about them everyday
