My dad has stomach and liver cancer....was given months in January 2010....I can do all the practical and emotional support in the world...but...after that is done....I can't rest or sleep...my mind just keeps going. How do others cope please? I work full time, have a family and am now a carer...I feel numb and cannot cry and yet I know that I will feel better if I do......nights are the worst....can't remember that last good nights sleep I had...I accept we are going to lose him, I just don't want him to suffer or to be afriad of how his death will happen. He is coming to live with us next week, wants to die with us around him....
