conv: My dad died of cancer in 2012. My dad died of cancer in 2012. That was really hard for me emotionally. I'm really sorry to hear that. Thank you. I was prepared_comma_ but it was still difficult. I can't even imagine to be honest. I hope you don't have to go through it for a long time. I have lost grandparents and greatparents but they were all older in age so it was easier to deal with. It's always tough_comma_ even if someone is older. I'm sure it will be different when it's a parent.
