Were the same age and I particularly find the episode with you and the family discussing Robert snr. and his passing so poignant. What a connection we have as Im sure youve discovered that only people who have gone through this can fully appreciate it. suppose thats the aspect of the show that I home in on. Little did I know when I used to watch the show before my husband passed that I would be destined to go down a simular path of devastation. When Kourtney speaks of her dads passing from osophogenial cancer after such a short period my heart goes out to her, we too had the exact same experience. Its heartbreaking and your trying to protect them is exactly what I’ve had to try and do. People say to me you’re so brave but you dont have many options , crying and feeling sorry is a luxury. I sometimes wonder do you ever feel angry, especially towards the medical profession for not diagnosing these cancers earlier and maybe been able to get some treatment. I know I do. Like Robert ,Liam (my husband) was so handsome and dynamic, kind and intellegent. Such a loss, only 57 and adored our two children who are just heartbroken. Its funny like you too, I particularly worry about my son I dont think that boys . are as strong as girls, or as resilient. I hope you dont mind me pouring my heart out and using you as therapy but I find it so hard to speak about my loss just at the moment I’m sure that will come with time. I had a particularly bad day today and have just watched the episode of Kourtney giving birth which mad me so emotional, I’ve just cried my eyes out but with a degree of elation too, it was very moving. I seem to connect so much with Kourtney like her I had a boy first and then a girl and my husband was a bit of a Scott type, very flamboyant (please ask him ti quit smoking). Anyway feeling a lot better already, got a lot off my chest,have to go now and check my ninty year old mother which is a great distraction. Regards, Geraldine (ireland)
