Oh honey, I feel for you. Re dad can you tempt him with custard, mousse, trifle, ice cream, chocolates, basically anything that is high calorie. Have you tried protein drinks? You must make time for yourself too and keep up your strength. I really can't talk as lost a third of my weight when nursing hubby at home Pallitive care. But you must eat too, and go for a walk, just have time out. It must be doubly hard for you losing your friend so recently and now dads poor health. Re towards the end of Dads life, just be there for him, tell him how much he means to you, how you have appreciated all he has done for you. Hold his hand and be there when you can. Do it now, at the end of the day you want to have no regrets Hope this has helped. Sending you a virtual hug Kathy x ... View more

It was hard when he had no appetite and nagging does no good. All I could do was offer the foods, custards and ice cream were a big winner for a while. Is his pain being managed well? It is good to read hubby is mobile, that is a big help. If there any questions I can help with please ask Sending you hugs, Kathy x ... View more

Hi Sandy, being strong for everyone can only be maintained for a period, without something giving. It important for you to have some "me" time. Sorry to be so personal but what level of care does hubby require at the moment. Is he mobile? Can he shower and dress? I understand that your work would keep your brain occupied in a different direction for those hours and that is good. How long are you on holidays for? Kathy ... View more
