    I feel alone too. Rip wish i would have found this years earlier. Family and loved ones are the worlds worse when it comes to being there and its pathetic. They will all pay dearly one day. God is now giving you all the love you could ever need

    You sound like a good man. I'm sorry you feel so alone in this struggle. Even now with this video you continue to help others by reminding them to not let those around them suffer alone. I wish nothing but good things for you sir. Shalom.

      Thank you for your kind words and Shalom to you. It's been 6 months since my surgery and I am still having issues, but I am doing all I can to fight this.

    I was just like this man, I was the giver and was independant and when I had an operation, nobody was there for me. I now am a loner and apart from my adult kids, grandkids and husband and my elderly mum, I got fed up with the takers in my life.

    This video really made me sad...I wish I could be there for you. No one should ever feel alone. I think sometimes loved ones get scared, but I wish they could put themselves in your shoes so that they could understand how badly you need support. I wish you could give an update and just know I am saying a prayer for you. You’re a good man. 🙏🏼

    I’m so sorry you are dealing with this alone. I know exactly what you are going through I have a chronic illness I know first hand how you feel. I’ve always been a giver like you. God allowed you to be the bigger person, caring person. Stay strong there are a lot of ppl pulling for you. I really hope you are doing well I don’t see anymore post.

    Everytime my mom or dad has anything mildly serious going on with them, my sister brother and myself have always been there and will continue to be. I hope you have found the comfort and loyalty you seem to deserve. God bless.

    This is awful. Everyone has abandoned him. I feel so sorry that he went through this. Not to be morbid I daresay he has died. If he has any insurance his wife and family are probably beneficiaries. Friends are not friends.

    Well my friend i couldn't wait to write to you. I am a retired nurse of 50 yrs. Worked hospice and all over. Just to preempt what I am going to say. TELL YOUR FAMILY N FRIENDS WHAT YOU JUST TOLD US. Sometimes people don't know what to say n avoid person even loved ones. I also being a nurse do for everyone n never ask for diddly. We are caregivers. At this time my friend let your pride down with due respect n let them know your needs. You may have to be the one to open the door to their comfort level to approach you. It will work i promise. I have been the one to tell this to families n it always works. Strong people have trouble reaching out myself included. Not anymore for you! Speak up. Glad u are at City of Hope. Have heard good things. Another blogger i watch goes there for treatment. Best of luck. Lean on your loved ones friends anyone. They will appreciate it in the long run. Open the door w conversation. I will follow you for updates. My heartfelt best my friend. I am a faith bound person n lean on our savior. If that sounds good then dont forget Him. God bless.

    I hate that he had to go through this alone.. but now he has no more worries, and he’ll never be alone again.. I just wonder why his own flesh and blood; his children didn’t reach out to him as much especially during his illness. But through it all, he still remained positive, humble, and faithful during his hard time! He’s definitely being rewarded for his job well done while going through this. Rest In Peace

      To answer your question about why his children we're not supporting is because the younger generation of today are self-centered all about me me me

    Oh, this video made me so sad 😞 💔 I wish I could be there for you! Hope you are doing well now and that everything went fine with your cancer fight! I had two dear and close friends died of pancreatic cancer and my beloved father died of cancer too 💔 Too many good people is gone way to early from this horrific sickness and its just heartbreaking 💔 You are without any power to help/cure - even if all of your soul scream out in desperation 😞💔The only thing you can do is to be there mentally and physically! and it is so tough to see your loved ones and not be able to help/cure.... There are simply no magic wand no matter how much you wish there was‼️

    Am so sorry people seem to be avoiding you over this situation when you need the support and love from them. My nephew is now 52 and had his whipple surgery in July 2015...his was the tail of his pancreas and obviously the whipple is a major operation so he is still going strong thankfully but does suffer a lot of pain and has to take so many meds for the rest of his life... He was on opiates for some time but is now on Tramadol for his pain which can be very intense sometimes... He has lost a lot of weight as he can't eat an awful lot but somehow he continues to get through each day and does get out and about when he can... his last scan showed no cancer thankfully but seeing his pain can sometimes be heartbreaking for me... Am hoping they can eventually get his pain management sorted then he can enjoy life more... but am just thankful he is still with us and hasn't given up on life .... I wish you well Jay and hope you family can realise what you are going through and will give you the love and support you deserve....God bless you...and I wish you to be well again soon....XX

    I think you probably will have to. Reach out to your loved ones and tell them how you want this to go. People don’t know what to do and you can teach them. I’ll pray all goes well for you.

  • @georgelaw5000
    @georgelaw5000 5 лет назад

    Your family is your best friends. When a best friend is ill possibly could pass away, we become scared of the loss. We don't want to get to close do to that loss. It's a horrible situation that your in, it's also very difficult for your family to come to terms with it. Maybe that's why they are so stand offish. They will come together with their emotions, then be at your side to help you with yours.

    I was touched by your video. Your mother is always with you. When you feel lonely, reach down and touch your belly button and there she is. I admire you for being so honest about your feelings. I'm your friend and wish you well. You have a beautiful soul. God never leaves you. Talk with him anytime. Love you!!!!!!! :-) I know how you feel.!!!! :-)

    • @laurashipp447

      I was in surgery for 12 hours and in ICU on life support for 3. It's been a long journey and it's not over yet. I am doing Chemo and Radiation and I am tired all the time. They now found a lesion on my liver and will find out more in weeks to come. Thank you so much for your concern.

      I love it that you are open about your feelings...i think because you are always that guy who is strong doing things for others people don't know how to be vulnerable around you...i can almost say you and i are twins in character...have compassion for them they dont know how to be...strange that im saying this to you because i always say the same things that im always every where for everybody but nobody shows up for me just for a hug especially because usually people like us always have it together so it makes it difficult for frinds and family to see our sufferring and it is because we care always for others more
