Hi
Welcome to our community though sorry to hear about your dad.
Are you normal - totally - if we look at Looking after someone with cancer, especially the bits about coping we can see just how normal we are,
The keeping strong bit - really easy to say - but when we face what is often described as a tsunami sweeping all in it's path. I have seen lots of people on here outlive a prognosis and I am rather surprised that they gave such a guess.
You are so right that some days are harder than others. I did a living with less stress course that really helped me - living in the here and now rather that in a state of pre-grief was really helpful and the controlled breathing exercise was great in helping me reax.
Do post on her whenever, someone is always listening and ready to lend a hand.
<<hugs>>
