Coping watching your dad slowly pass

finding it really hard to cope with seeing my dad get weaker and weaker. Cancer is killing him, but has not been eating or drinking so losing more weight. Chemo has stopped now because he does not have the strength to carry on, so by not drinking and eating it’s making him even worse. He is so strong headed and eating and drinking is causing him pain in the gut. So he’s got it into his head by avoiding these things he will be in less pain.

 

just really struggling to cope, I am a strong person to family and don’t show any emotion. But every time I am lone, all I do is cry.

  • Oh catty. . .I'm so so sorry your going through such a heartbraking time ... it must be so hard for your dad when it hurts him to eat and drink ... and for you, I imagine your feeling pretty helpless right now ..

    There's a free phone number for McMillan, and I'm sure could offer support to you at this time .. and it will probably help actually talking to someone too .. 

    I wish l could help more, but just want to send you a hug at this time ... Chrissie
