Hi All,

My fiancés father has just been diagnosed with cancer and only has 18 months to live.

My Fiancé is absolutely devastated, getting herself in states, panic attacks, not eating, not sleeping, crying loads.

I understand that these are all parts of going through this.

All I want want to do is be there to support her and be with her.

I am struggling myself, I’m not sleeping and eating but I’m too worried about her.

I really hope you can help TIA x

So so sorry to hear this, would your Fiancé or you consider counselling? To talk to a neutral person about what you are both feeling. Maybe keeping a journal to get thoughts out and on to paper? Making plans to ensure the next 18 month with him are spent together making memories. He might have a list of things he would like to do, and you can both (and other family if available) can help him fulfil these. x

I would definitely consider counselling, but I don’t feel my fiancé wants to and it’s hard trying ti convince her. Definitely think the journal is a good idea, maybe write in it first thing in the morning to get all bad thoughts out onto paper to then enjoy the day!x
