I am so sorry to hear that your friend Carol has passed on.
It sounds like she was a very special lady and that her passing was peaceful.
Take comfort in knowing that she is in a better place and at peace. I’m sure Teddy was there waiting to welcome her.

DarlaHi Jena,
I am sorry that you too have lost a loved one to CC. You will be glad you found this site. I found it a few days after my husband passed never having heard of this disease until a few days before he died. That was a little over two years ago and I don’t know what I would have done or where I would be now with out this site and all the wonderful supportive people here. So I am glad you have found us. We all understand what it is like to have to deal with this disease and how devastating it is to lose some you love to it. We are all here to help, comfort and support each other. You are in good hands, so stick with us and come back as often as you want or need to.
I’m sure others will be along shortly to welcome you, also.Darla
Oh Terry,
I know exactly how you are feeling. It really is hard, especially at this time of year. This is my third year without Jim and it still is hard to deal with most holidays and milestones. It’s hard to be smiling on the outside when you are so sad inside. After losing Wayne and now your mom, I am sure this is doubly hard for you. I have often said the same as you. Why did this happen to us and why are others able to be cured. There are no answers as to why. Especially with CC. It seems to treat everyone differently. What may work for one person does not help another. And yes, it is not fair, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it. Try to remember all the good years and good times you had. It won’t replace what has been lost, but it does help a little. With some people you may be able to be honest and tell them how you are feeling and they will understand. For the rest, try smiling through your tears. Unless they have been through something like this they will never understand. And you know you can always come here and vent your feelings honestly as we all understand and we all care. Try to be good to yourself. Take care Terry and know that I am thinking of you.
Love & Hugs,

I am so sorry to hear that Greg has passed on. There is nothing anyone can say to make this better, but try to take some comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering or in pain. He will always be with you in your heart and memories. Take care of yourself now and know everyone here understands and are here to help support you at this sad time.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaKris and Hans,
Good luck on your journey. I will be hoping for everything to go well. I will be thinking of both of you.

DarlaLainy,
That all sounds wonderful. You did good. I will be thinking of you on Friday. And know that in a way, we will all be there with you.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaHi Gavin,
I know just what you are feeling and yes, these days are hard. You needed a break and that’s OK. Yes, it does seem that others forget and think we just need to get on with our lives. It doesn’t work that way, does it? For us it never goes away. We will never forget. Yes we try to move on but it is always there. I too sometimes feel I am doing OK and then it hit’s you again like a ton of bricks. I guess unless you have been through it you just can’t understand.
I am so sorry your mom is being ignored by the rest of the family. She may act like she doesn’t care, but believe me, she does. She is so lucky to have you for a son to be there for her. I’m sure not being able to get out at all doesn’t help either.
On a lighter note, I think you sent all that cold & snow to Wisconsin. We really got hit this weekend and I haven’t been out since Friday! I do plan to get out tomorrow tho’. I need to. We have snow sliding off of gutters, trees, roofs etc. So I thought of you and your video.
Take care Gavin and know that I am thinking of you and your Mom. Try to remember all those good times you had with your Dad and keep those memories in the fore front of your mind. It won’t make you miss him less, but it will help easy the pain.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaI have to agree with everyone else. Live your life as normal as you can for as long as you can. My husband’s CC was also interhepatic and very slow growing. His first symptoms showed up less than 2 months before he passed away. Until then he lived a full and active life.. At first I was upset that it had not been found sooner, but now I feel it was a blessing we didn’t know. He lived his live to the fullest until those last weeks . There is no rhyme or reason, no right or wrong when dealing with CC it treats everything and everyone differently. Don’t wait to see what will happen next. Just live your life and be happy.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaI am so sorry to hear that your dad has passed on. I too am a believer and feel it is comforting to know our loved ones are still looking after us. He will always be with you in your heart and memories. You have a great attitude and it will get you through this sad time.
Lainy, great quote and oh so true.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaOh Terry,
You are so right. It does leave a terrible void, doesn’t it? Since Jim passed away only 7 weeks from when it all started and was relatively healthy until then, I was only the caretaker for those 2 months and think I now know more about this disease than most doctors, but you are so busy taking care of everything and then just like that it is over. As you know, my situation is much the same as yours. I try to keep on going and doing what I think he would want me to do and I like the thought that coping is a tribute to him. Thanks for that thought Nancy. Yes, I too believe it takes a long time and never really goes away. I think we just learn better how to cope with things and keep on going.
Everyone take care.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaLainy,
I read that through my tears. Just Lovely. I too will be thinking of you on the 17th. It is also my Mom’s 84th birthday.
Love & Hugs,
Darla
