Dear Sunshine,
I will be praying for you and your dear dad today.
It is such a hard time for you, as it was for me.I couldn't bear to think of life without my dad.But you both have a wonderful bond and closeness that will continue on. I still think of my dad every day after 10 years and the closeness remains.
But today is tough for you.Be as strong as you can and just hold his hand, wash his face, whatever he needs, just be there...
Mignon.

Dear Sunshine.
I agree with what wombat has said in that , as hard as it is for you, maybe a respite can help you both , a time to re-group , so to speak.
I know you will worry about him in an aged care facility, it is not what any of us want for our parents.
I was looking after my beautiful dad 10 years ago in my home with the help of palliative care nurses and our local GP. My dad went for some "extra help" for a couple of weeks, and then returned home. It was hard for us both, but we both got some much needed sleep.
Take care sweetie. I feel for you.

Dear Sunshine,
It is ok for you to cry. It must be so hard for you at the moment.Such an uncertain , scary time, a journey that you will never forget. Seek as much medical/nursing advise as you can to help settle your mind.You are doing the best thing for your dad in just "being there" with him. Buy yourself something nice today even it is just a block of chocolate.
Thinking of you. Mignon

Dear Ashes, never apologize for being negative, you have every right to be.
This is a good place to just be...to just say it how it is..
My heart goes out to you.

I found the Cancer nurse, and a parent of a cancer survivor so helpful this week.
After a painful session with a Psychiatrist about my depression and why after 5 years ( my daughter now has 5 year all clear from NHL) I still cant let it go, I rang the helpline in despair and they were so helpful. Would you believe that I am normal??? And my feelings about letting go are normal???
I don't think that people on the other side of the planet, i.e, non-cancer people, can ever get it, no matter how learned they are.
