Nathaniel’s Story:
My name is Nathaniel. I lost my dad to cancer Jan 3 and wanted some place to go to talk to Teens and kids who had the same thing happen. I created Lost Them Net. I hope this site will be helpful to you.
I would like to add that my mother (Carol) died on May 18 2005 it’s vary hard to put this down in writing but here goes. She got cancer also. Her cancer spread vary fast. She found out that she had cancer in February and we lost her in May. She did go though chemotherapy and lots of surgery because they thought she had a chance unlike dad where they didn’t give him much hope. She is in a better place I know that for sure. She was right with god so I will get to see her one day soon in Heaven. I would like to also mention that god has help me a lot though this time. He is still helping me As I get used to not having them and try to bond more strongly with my Aunt Terasa and Uncle Tim which are caring for me now.
Carol’s Story:
On Jan. 3, 2003, my dh of 16 years, 6 months, 1 week and 6 days went to be with the Lord he served. He died the day after my birthday. He gave me a very nice present by telling me Happy Birthday the first time I went into his room. This was not a normal thing for him to do. He might not tell me that until later in the day after someone else had done so. But even with all of his pain, he was able to remember to say Happy Birthday. It also was a real blessing to me that he didn’t die on my birthday. I believe he tried his best to stay alive until it was over. I miss his wisdom and companionship so much.
He had not been sick very long. He lost his voice on April 7th. That was the first clue that something was wrong. Finally in the search to find out the problem, in July we found out he had cancer. They never did find the primary site. We opted to do alternate treatment, no chemo. We thought we had it beat by using coral calcium. He got much better and was able to speak normally. Then he lost his voice again and things went down hill from there. We gave it our best fight but God had other plans.

Brook’s Story
On July 21, 1989 was a day that my world change forever. I was supposed to go to a swim team banquet with my mom, dad, and brothers that night. Early that morning, my dad was killed in an automobile accident. I was 10 years old, my brothers were 17 years old and 5 years old. After everything settled down, my swim team coach brought my trophies over to the house. I received the most improved swimmer trophy for my age group.
Now, I am the Bereavement Coordinator for Home Care Matters Home Health and Hospice. I help children, teenagers, and adults cope with grief. I know that my dad is proud of me and my brothers. I love and miss him very much!

Curlygirly’s Story:
My story is about a dog. Well, my dog Samson was a Golden Reviver and we got him at the shelter and we had him for about 7 years. One day I came home from a friends house and I hugged him and felt something different there was a lump in HIS NECK!!!
We were pretty scared and we took him to the vet. We waited and waited and Finally the vet came out and his face had a worried look on it. He said Samson has cancer!
Then my heart jumped with joy. I of course had no idea what it meant. I just thought that every thing would go back to normal. I turned and look at my daddy and said then he’s going to be okay right? My daddy put his arm around me and said no baby Samson is dieing and I ran to Sammy and wouldn’t let go of him.
Over the next months he got worse and worse. He got to the point that he couldn’t even walk so my mom and dad put him on a blanket and put him in our truck. My dad wouldn’t let me go with him. He was going to put Samson down. We all said goodbye to Sammy and dad drove away.
We buried his ashes under the steps because that was his favorite place to be. I still really miss Samson even though it’s been 5 years.
