Hi everyone. 

On Friday 13th (of all days) August we found out my dad’s cancer has returned. He battled it a few years ago and has been ok since. But it has come back aggressively. It has collapsed his lung. He is struggling with breathing and in a little pain but not anything that makes me think he is dying. But that is the case. They have given him weeks/perhaps months. I am heartbroken. So heartbroken. 
I am not sure if my plans are going to work but my partner and I are going to bring our wedding forward and try to do it in next few weeks! I want my dad there. But I am so worried he will still miss it and now I don’t know what to do. 
How do people deal with this? How do I deal with the fact he won’t meet any grandchildren which I know means so much to him. My poor mum is 9 years younger than him. Only 60. She is too young to lose the love of her life. I can’t stop crying. I am due to try to go to work today to have a little normality and try to distract myself for a bit, but should I? Is it best to just work from home and deal with the emotions rather than try to hide them for a day? 
I am so sorry we are all having to go through this. Sending love to you all.

    Hi Love,

    I’m so sorry for the news you have received about your dear dad. My Dad was exactly the same and is now in his last few days.

    When he received his prognosis my partner and I weren’t even engaged, but I just couldn’t imagine my Dad not being there. Despite it being a hard day, it was also the best day Two hearts Just me, my (now) husband, mum and dad at the ceremony. Get wed with your dad there Two hearts

    sending you lots of love

    Hello! 

    I am so sorry we are having to meet in these circumstances. How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? 
    how long have you known about your dad’s diagnosis. How is he doing today? I am so sorry to hear that he is in his last few days. How are you coping? 

    how quickly did you plan a wedding?! I bet it was so beautiful. How was your dad that day? 

    Sending so much love to you and your family xx
