Thanks @Sunshine_girl2 - he was such an active guy for his age - it doesn't seem real. My poor friend is in bits as you can imagine. 😞

Sorry to hear that, taken far too young. Unfortunately lung cancer is one of those cancers that symptoms often don’t show until too late. Life can be so unfair. I don’t make resolutions either, I just try to make improvements as and when I see fit.

Condolences on your loss especially at this time of year.  Your friend is so lucky to have your support.

Lung cancer (DH Died from this at 58) is so horrible, it sneaks up and by the time it’s found it’s normally too late for a cure.  ((hugs)) x

So sorry to hear this @Seasidegal58.  Take care of yourself as the emotional impact can come and go in waves, I find.  When do you next see your friend? Love Humdinger xx

Thanks @Sun_Addict - yes, you're right about lung cancer - it happened with my dad too - he wasn't aware of the symptoms until the cancer was quite far gone.

Thanks @in_need_of_direction - my friend and her husband never had children but have a very large circle of friends as they were very social and always out and about. Quite a few live local to her and they have been rallying round. Her sister and brother in law are with her at the moment. They live overseas now but had already booked a Christmas/New Year trip to see my friend and her husband as well as the brother in law's family. It's so sad as because of the pandemic this is the first time they have met up in nearly three years. ☹️
