Caring for my dying dad

Just reaching out with a hug - my mum doesn't have long left and is frailer by the day.  It's so heartbreaking because she's such a fighter and still thinks she will be back doing the garden next summer.  The one ray of light is this forum and reading that other people are going through the same thing - although it's the club no one wanted to join it is at least a club.  

Aww I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this too. You words are such a comfort to me. Like you say, knowing I’m not the only one does somehow help. My dad is the same talking about wanting to go up to the loft when he feels better. It’s just him trying to cope. Tonight he can barely stand and only woke for five minutes to take some tablets then fell asleep again. I’m sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my mum five years ago and it is a pain like no other. I’m so sad I’m going to lose my dad too now. Life is so cruel. Cancer is so cruel. Warm hugs to you x 

Oh Obsidian sorry about the loss of your mum too, and for what you're going through with your dad.  It's weird, I had about 20 years of stability where nothing really drastic happened in my life.  Covid came along and it seems as though it's been nothing but suffering and loss since that started, with lots of mum's close friends dying, mum almost dying, then having secondary cancer as well and losing her independence.  It's so hard when we know they're not going to get better, but they are determined that they are.  

Sending much love to you and anyone else reading x
