Hi ,
So sorry to hear about your dad, we often describe the impact of cancer as a tsunami and often hear of people saying the patient is coping so well and those around them are falling to bits. It is perhaps a lot easier to say "stay strong" than to be strong.
There are a few groups here that might be of help to you, are Family and friends - Discussion Forum clearly has direct relevance but you might also like to look in on and you will soon see you are far from alone.
In my case it is my wife who has the cancer and I was the one struggling until I did a living with less stress course. It taught me to spend more time appreciating what I have rather than looking at a dark future that I may never see, Some of the breathing exercises were good too at coping with the unexpected but also in just helping me relax.
One thing I find great in the community is the shared experience, it can feel very lonely dealing with cancer but when we post on here we know everyone understands and if all else fails we can post in The Room - Discussion Forum and remember to slam the door on the way out!
<<hugs>>
Steve
