They (oncology) told us that nothing would happen quickly and then it did, and I'm starting to realise from your comments that 'quickly' is actually quite common.
Yes do go on autopilot. I’m glad I had my mum & brother to lend on. With Dad it started in his lungs & like everyday would be something else he had heart attack then cancer spread quickly to his back,bones & brain. June when started & died September. It helps to talk on here sorry if waffle on. steph x
It’s not waffling on. I feel the same and it really helps to share on here and I get a lot of comfort that I’m not alone in how I feel. I have my sister and we both have our own families. Our mum has Alzheimer’s so it’s been really tough. She didn’t understand Dad’s cancer but she seems to understand that he has died. We have now moved her in to a home. Our next step is to clear and sell the family home we grew up in!
It’s so hard having to make decisions I used to be a senior care assistant so used to work with people with Alzheimer’s. & now your also sorting out the family home. We sorted some bits of dads just seemed strange like selling his guitars & fishing stuff. I had his cornet as I used to play in band he was in but used to rent my cornet. Tomorrow is my birthday & I can’t believe he won’t be here I’ve just done post about that.
