rifatheroffour Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Four days before his only daughter's wedding my cousin's husband died after a 17 month battle with cancer. I've hardly been in touch outside of the normal contact for family events because I never had a good feeling about this from the day I found out and felt like a ghoul knowing the fate ahead of her. Now he's gone and sadly my "expertise" may be "useful". Dammit this sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sojourner Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm so sorry, RI! Empathizing with the difficulty of having someone else in your family have a disease that's most likely to be terminal. I'm sorry it did come to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trying Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm so sorry for your cousin and her family. I'm sure you will be a safe place for her to express her grief in the days, weeks and months to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoVerySad Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm so sorry, RIFF. It certainly does suck, especially so close to the wedding. I know your heart is hurting even more for his family as you know all to well what is ahead for them. It will be a blessing to have your understanding of the depth of their loss, but I realize it is a role you'd rather not be so qualified to fill. Sending you tight hugs...
