Hi,

My dad passed away on 21/02/25 from lung cancer. It all happened very quickly and from being told there was nothing that could be done for him to him passing was very quick(18 days) during this time he was in hospital, put on end of life, taken off end of life and fast tracked home to spend last few days at home. I work as a HCA in A&E so know a bit about end of life etc. but the speed of this happening has knocked me. I am constantly questioning myself as to whether I did enough for him and keep replaying the 2 weeks in my head.

  • I didnt want to read and run, my dad has just been told (over the phone) that the shadow on his lungs is cancer, he has been having treatment for bladder cancer. The thought of losing him is breaking parts of my heart off every day so I know how broken you must feel. You feelings are valid and relatable and part of your grief so please sit with them and remember your amazing dad. You did everything for him, please be kind to yourself x
