I lost him exactly one year ago. It was the day after his 60th birthday, and cancer literally ate him away to nothing. It was horrible. Worse, I kept hoping he would get better, and put off talking to him, because the illness (that he hid for 2 years!) changed his personality so much. Before that, we used to talk nearly every night on the phone, sometimes for hours (both of us single).The only positive thing is that I met my now-husband just before I found out he was sick, and he became my lifeline and confidante insted of my Dad. If that hadn't happened, I don't think I could have borne the loss of him at all.
The problem is, whenever I think about him, it hurts SO badly, so deeply, and it never gets better. Is a year too soon? Will it hurt less, ever? I feel like my soul is being destoyed every night when I lay down to sleep. I keep searching my memory for how I could have saved him (he refused to go to the Dr for a year), words he said that I should have treasured & didn't. Help!
