Hi everyone,

we have found out today my wonderful daddy’s treatment is probably over, just pain management now.

i just can’t seem to take it in, I’ve been inconsolable all day, how do I stop feeling so angry and upset, I have a young toddler and want to be the best mom to her but I feel hopeless I can’t begin to control my saddness. 

has anyone found chatting in person to a macmillan support person has helped?

I don’t know how to go through this, I just don’t feel like I’m strong enough, 

  • Hello Ellap, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.  Two years ago I thought I was going to be widowed due to a complication after my hubby's lung cancer operation.  I found it very beneficial to speak to the Macmillan support.  Not that she could alter events but she was so kind and understanding and I felt relieved just telling her about it.  Fortunately my husband recovered from that but had to start chemotherapy last year so I contacted Macmillan support again and received consolation and reassurance.

    I have found speaking to the Macmillan support helpful when I’m struggling to cope. It doesn’t replace speaking to a professional therapist, or other loved ones, but they can be helpful as a friendly ear. They’ll stay on the phone with you as long as you need, and listen, which can provide some form of release.
