feeling down

Less than one minute read time.

oh well its been the weekend, and all weekend I have felt down. Found out on thursday that dads psa level is raising and that the doctor isnt happy. So once again we are back to talk about another course of chemotherapy. Dads mood has changed and he is feeling really down and angry about it all. Saw him yesterday and he looked so sad and poorly. Cried for most of the weekend how much of this can 1 person take b4 they lose it. Dont feel like I can do anything. Just want 2 be able 2 take the pain away and let it all be ok.

    Hi Mandy,

    Just you be there for your Dad to give him all the support and loving he needs. Hold his hand talk about the good times past. You take care of yourself you dont want to go and make yourself ill with worry.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hi Mandy, I know how hard it is - you feel so helpless as you watch your loved one suffering. Try to take care of yourself, as Sarsfield says. Love Val XX

    Hi Mandy,

                It is the hardest thing to watch someone you love suffering and we would all take the pain away if we could. You will feel a range of emotions and it is always best to have a cry if you need to, rather than try to hold it all in. However,try not to let the despair overwhelm you and focus on being there for your dad and supporting him all you can.

                 You also need to take some time for yourself which will help you to stay strong. I hope you have friends and family to support you but remember that we are here whenever you need us

                   Take care,

                        Love lizzie xx

    God what a weekend, Dads not been feeling well and is now asking why him, why cant someone take a bit of the pain away. I am just wishing I could. He is now taking liquid morphine which does stop some of the pain and he still has his up and down dads. I am just constantly wishing I could help him in some way or another. Crying doesnt seem to help me any more I just dont know what to do or say. I hate this and I know there are so many other people going through this but I just keep thinking why us why my family. I feel so empty and alone. I have so many people there for me but just feel like I have no one.
