Today my Dad found out his chemo hasn’t worked and has been given weeks. It doesn’t feel real and I feel sick. The idea of life without him makes me panic. He is set to retire in July and has a new home waiting for him and my Mum to move into I know life happens and we can explain or understand why awful things happen to good people but my goodness it’s so cruel. He deserves such a happy and long retirement after years of such hard work. Heartbroken doesn’t cut it… I don’t know how to process this, deal with or face this.
I’m so sorry to hear this, my grandad is in the same boat with a few weeks left, maybe even less than that. It’s so hard to know how to deal with it and how to process everything going on. Sending big hugs to you xx
