My.Dad wants to organise all the information that is going to be needed for his funeral. He is Stage 4 metastatic bowel/secum cancer, he has now stopped all treatments as they are no longer working. He wants me to go through what he wants the vicar to say and know. I just don't fly know where to begin apart from birthplace,. Childhood, schooling, marriage, hobbies, grandchildren... he's coming g to see me tomorrow so any quick suggestions would be appreciated x
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm very sorry to read that your dad's treatment is no longer working but you sound like a very loving person who wants to do what they can to help him.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group where you could put your question to other carers, friends and families of people with a terminal diagnosis.
To get to the group just click on the link I've created and then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
