I am new to the group. My Dad has terminal cancer and I feel so helpless. I am struggling with the emotional impact and how to deal with it.

    Yes I am! I’m 15, turn 16 in December, just for reference I was born I. 2004! No worries at all. I’m so glad they helped. The light does get darker and darker, there’s no nice way of putting it but it seems like that towards the end. But I promise it won’t last forever, there will be a whole in your heart forever, that won’t change but you will see it in a different way than you do now in the future, but don’t rush your emotions, it won’t help. I have an alcoholic mother, I know it’s very different but I switched my emotions off whenever she relapsed and that messed me up. Just let it all out, reach out to people around you and take every day as it comes. Everything will be okay, he will look after you on your worst days, even if he’s not physically here. Your most welcome, always here if you need any kind words X
