Feeling sad

hi, 

It could be that he’s shut down a bit. My Dad was the same when he found out that the immunotherapy was doing a good job, it was like it didn’t register with him. Admittedly I’ve also shut down. Dad has very complicated health issues and he’s also got a degenerating brain, a bit like dementia and his behaviour is extremely challenging. I felt the moment that my brain put the barriers up. One minute I was sobbing into a pillow and the next I was making a sandwich. I think your brain can defend you when things are truly overwhelming. Things become mechanical from then on, it’s an odd feeling. 

Maybe that’s what he’s experiencing? 

much love

Yes you could be right. I think he’s probably just more matter of fact than I am. Sorry to hear of your issues. It’s very difficult times but we need to keep going as much for them as for ourselves. My father has dementia which was diagnosed last year about 6 months after my husband’s cancer diagnosis so it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. Sending much love too x
