Amy, Im very sorry for your loss. Its never easy losing someone we love, especially a parent or child. Time will help you to adjust to being without your father. It wont be easy, but it does get a little easier to handle with time.

You have every right to be upset and angry. You have been cheated out of having your father. Oral cancer is a terrible disease with awful survival statistics. Thats why activism, early detection thru oral cancer screenings and vaccinating with the Guardisil shot are all so important. Thru all that education it will help get those affected diagnosed earlier so they have a better chance at beating it.

Another thing to help may be a grief counselor to help you to cope with your loss. Ive heard wonderful things from several people who have used them.
