Hello everyone,

I'm currently helping care for my grandad who has bowel cancer that has spread and now nearing the end if his life. I've never lost anyone this close to me before. He basically brought me and my siblings up. 

He stopped eating about 3 weeks ago but has been sipping on a bit of what he fancies. Then being sick as a result. He had an anti sickness injection from the district nurse this morning. As a result he has started saying horrible things and acting out of character. 

He has a cough and is extremely tired and all skin and bone. Do you think he might dye soon ? Do you know how long this suffering part takes? 

I can't bear to see him like this, maybe I am naive.

I just want to try and prepare myself as much as possible for when the time comes. I just don't know how and when it's all going to end.

Sorry I'm not really talking to my family about it because I don't want to upset anyone else or make it awkward. 

Any advice would be greatful.

Thank you, from Katie
