Dad

Hey guys,

I lost a dad and had to care for him to the last day, this was about two years ago now I'm 22 , but I've just never been the same and I'm really struggling to come still 

  • Hi Sean121,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm very sorry to read about your dad. I'm sure it must have been incredibly tough for you to see him go through this, as well as being a big responsibility for you at a young age.

    It's of course perfectly natural that this continues to have an effect on you. Hopefully you have others around you that you can speak to about this - or if not, this forum is a great safe space to write down your thoughts, and it's a very welcoming and understanding community of people.

    If you feel you're struggling, I would also encourage you to reach out to organisations for support. This could include Macmillan, or a local Maggie's Centre, or perhaps a counsellor who can often be a great help in terms of listening and offering support. Cruse are a bereavement specialist organisation who can also help.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
