Hi I hope someone might be able to help. my Dad is now probably at end of life in a couple of weeks and has begun to get very angry with my mum who is doing her best to look after him. I guess this is pretty normal but its heartbreaking to see her upset by it all. She can't seem to do anything right. I dont know how to help. i want to say something to my dad and tell him that is whats happening is affecting us too but that seems unfair as he's the one that's dying. He doesnt seem to realise how hard this is for all of us.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your dad’s diagnosis and resulting challenges.
I simply have no first hand experience that I can bring but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
The Community has many dedicated support groups so can I direct you to our supportive Carers only, Family and friends and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups a benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
Follow the links I've created above, join the groups, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.

It’s always good to talk, so can I highlight the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information and Financial Support mostly open 8.00 to 8.00
All the very best.
