Hello this is my first post : I have been seeking comfort and solace through reading other people's posts but I guess I felt the time has come to do my own post . After a brave 5 year battle my dad recently found out he had months to live . This was a masssive blow to the family because we simply thought Dad would keep going. But in the last few months his health has deteriorated rapidly and I could no longer deny what was happening . We have now found out that dads prognosis has changed to weeks .
I can't explain the utter loss and fear I feel although I know from this forum that so many feel the same . It's such a hard time of year, I pray dad makes it to Christmas so he will be with us all and his 7 year old grand-daughter . I'm trying to be brave but I can't bare to think of a world without dad in it . I'm doing everything I can to be there for dad and mum and friends are there for me (am an only child) and I have to keep going for my daughter but right now I'm walking round like a ghost , I can't eat or sleep . I know I have to be strong and make the most of the time we have left but I just feel so utterly lost and empty ..  so I'm reaching out via this platform to get support from others who are going through this xx
