My dad has stage 4 brain cancer.
Hes been fighting it so hard for a year, but I think things are progressing fast now.
im trying to be strong for him and my brothers, but receiving calls about end of life wishes and funeral plans is crushing me.
I have the guilt about work too, on whether I should be taking annual leave? Or self certify? And for how long?
I just don’t feel very strong right now, even though I should be :-/
Sunflower222,
Right now the most important thing is being with your dad. Funeral stuff can most certainly wait along with pretty much anything having to do with life after your dad has passed. When my mom was in her final weeks, I spent every moment I could with her and I don't regret any of it.
Best wishes
