Tears,tears and more tears....

Hi,

Somehow I have found my way back to this site again after my last post earlier in the year. Dad did 3 courses of chemo but it didn't work.

We now have him home having palliative care ....he is not expected to see the end of September.

I just feel totally numb, lost, sad, devastated, tired, ......

Some days I pray that the Lord will take him so that he is out of this pain but then I feel broken that I cannot imagine life without my Dad. I am exhausted from worrying, crying dreading what is ahead of me.

In a way, the last few weeks have allowed us to say everything we have wanted to say and I can honestly say that I shall feel that I have done everything I could have for my lovely Dad.

Im sorry if I'm rambling, but I just feel the need to get my thoughts out of my head....my head feels as if it's going to explode.

I hope that I can come back to this site one day in the future and read my words with a feeling of happiness and contentment in my life .....today I feel that  shall never ever be the person I was.

My thoughts are with you all on this horrendous journey that we all seem to be in x

 

  • Hi Bumblebee and welcome back.

    I hope you manage to find some comfort and support here. Sometime just knowing that other people have had a similar reaction to similar situations is enough to help us realise that we're not cracking up and that our feelings are pretty normal after all. Anyone who has cared for someone in the final stage of their cancer journey will empathise with your mixed feelings, emotions and feelings of guilt, especially the "what if I'd done things differently" questions we ask ourselves. 

     

    Best wishes

    Dave
