I lost my dad 10 years ago now of pancreatic cancer they call it the slow death and yes it was slow I watched my dad go from a 14 stone man to half his body weight he was always smiling and keeping his chin up but deep inside me the pain was agonising me and my sister nursed him to the end before he died he told me to live life to the full cause you never know what's round and that's what I do now I struggle don't get me wrong but I don't sit and dwell anymore I do what I can and my family are very supportive and so are my work mates as long as I'm smiling like my dad was everyday till the end my fibro goes to the back of my head and I just deal with it their is more people that are worse off then me so I thank God I can still work still drive and have good friends

Sometimes I hurt more. Due to the stress. It depends on the family member that I lose. Like if/when I lose my mom it will be devastating. And I will lose that support system. But so far it's only been an aunt, uncle, and grandparents.

The only difference it has made is in my energy and ability to be there and do everything for everyone like I once did. And that's frustrating. So sorry for your loss.

I don't think it's made a difference. I lost my mother 2 years ago, and wasn't able to travel to her funeral (not for Fibro-related reasons). I don't think Fibro made any difference to my reactions.

My family is supportive. I am so glad that they are!
