Hi my name is Lisa. I just came upon this site as I searched the internet for some kind of emotional support. I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer 2 days after Christmas. As I have known many people with this type of cancer and the life expectancy, my mother had a rare form and was told she would "probably die of old age". My mother was 68.
I'm not sure what is harder on my family: the anger towards the medical profession (it's not their fault) or the shock of losing someone we all loved and miss terribly. My mother was larger than life and very noticeably missing. My three sisters, brother and father are having such a hard time moving forward.
Somedays, I can't stop crying.
Thanks for listening
Lisa
