Found out an old friend has a brain tumour.
And then today found out another friend (only 40, with three kids under eleven) has died from cancer after a sixteen month illness.

So sorry to hear that old chap. I posted on here about losing a good friend earlier this year and I still struggle to comprehend it. Life is incredibly cruel at times. |  |

Sincere condolences. Life can be a bitch, but it’s a helluva lot better than death. |  | | |

Thoughts are with you Facters.
My best mate of about 40 years died suddenly coming up to nine years ago and I still have trouble coping with it.
Life is not fair. [Post edited 6 Dec 2019 20:33]

As we get older these reminders that we are not immortal occur with greater frequency but never become any easier. Especially when the departed is younger than we are. In recent years have said farewell to too many all younger than I am, two at least twenty years younger.
I often wonder how my mother, heading towards her 99th birthday copes with it. |  |

Thank you all. It's much appreciated.
As the song says 'Lord if you won't take care of us, won't you please, please let us be'.

While obviously sharing everyone's sentiments I am becoming increasingly angry at the seemingly relentless march of cancers particularly on learning that the highest rates of increase are in the very youngest!
My suspicion is that it is a case of toxic sh1t in........toxic sh1t out......but who is going to pay for that research? |  |

Not sure if it will help you cope with those passings but that reminder of Randy Newman's 'God's Song' I will try to keep in mind, like not a few of Newman's lyrics it might not be comforting but it does provide some type of iron clad solace in the form of knowing someone else is on a wavelength similar to ours. |  |

I'm sorry to hear of your sad news, I hope you are able to find the strength to help your old friend as he comes to terms with his brain tumour. It is not easy. |  | | |

Words don't really seem to fit the bill at moments like this but, I'm truly sorry to hear this. |  | | |

My dad had a motherf*cker of a brain tumour.
It wasn't a great time of my life but to be honest it at least gave us time to say goodbye rather than a straight heart attack or the like. |  |

Very sorry to hear that. Thoughts are with you and their families and friends.
I can't even begin to imagine how tough that must be for those kids and their other parent. |  |

That's a good way of looking at it, although it is tough to see the tumour taking control. | | | |

At the end of the day Sundaze we all know that we are going to die. My dad had great times with all of us and even when he was muddled an d fuddled he remembered things now and again and we laughed.
The only way to deal with death is to laugh at it. My dads funeral was a blast, jazz band, hog roast and all that. My dad was getting on for 80, people die at 80 and to be fair it is quite a decent age.
Unfortunately we all have to deal with these things. It's when the youngsters are involved that it burns.
By the way - that doesn't mean to undermine your hurt FB [Post edited 7 Dec 2019 10:25]

Very sad to hear that Facters - every day friends and family are healthy should be treasured - they are the things that make our lives worthwhile...and when we lose them those days should be remembered always... |  |

No worries.
The lass with cancer died after 16 months. Her husband now has to bring up three kids, all under eleven. It's them I feel most for. | |
