Wishing you can remember all the good times, the happier, healthier times you shared together to help ease your pain. May she now rest in peace, free from all the pain.
Welcome to you, thank you for joining OCF. There are many members who have been thru the loss of a close relative to oral cancer who understand what you endured. I have lost both of my parents many years ago. It is so difficult learning to go on without their presence. I know in time you too will find your way.
Best wishes!
