Hi,

I found out last week that my dad's cancer was incurable and we have been told he has months to live.

I am very lucky in that where I work is incredibly supportive - they are giving me time off and space when I need it for which I am really grateful.

However - and this is going to sound so selfish - how do you deal with other people at work? People are either treating me like I'm made of glass or avoiding me like I have the plague. I appreciate their support - it means so much to me and I know they don't know what to say - but I just want people to treat me normally

Sorry that sounds so ungrateful but I'm really struggling with my own emotions at the moment  - I'm not dealing with it well at all   - me and my dad are incredibly close and just feel like I need a bit of normality for a few hours where I'm not thinking about him not being here
