Feeling Overwhelmed

Hello everyone. About 2 years ago my father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. It seems like the final months are coming. It hurts me to see him only able to lay in bed and walk short distances around the house. He is still eating food thankgoodness, but its very small portions of icecream, oatmeal,etc. He often complains of not getting enough good deep sleep. I honestly wish that there was more that I could do for him to help at all. I just feel like there are so many sad emotions bottled up inside me. I attend University so I am only with him for a few more days before I have to return it just makes me feel terrible that I cannot take the pain away from him. I haven't told any of my friends about my father I just feel that its selfish of me to talk about how upset I am to someone else when he is the one truly suffering.  Any thoughts/ wisdom would be amazing. Thank you so very much.

  • Talk to your friends let them know what's happening it's not selfish you have feelings and need a release.please don't bottle things up. Taking to others will help.

     

    Spending time with your Dad is the best thing you can't take his pain away and he knows that. Call him for a chat every if for a few minutes tell him your news about uni. He will want you to carry on with your life and taking to him makes him part of it.
