I don’t think my beloved Dad will be with us much longer. It’s difficult to know because he has so many symptoms that sometimes turn out to be something else, but he’s not eating (even though he feels hungry, as soon as he tries to eat he vomits). But you know when you just gave a feeling that this time is different.
I live an hour away and I want to go and spend all my time with him but today I just keep bursting into tears and I don’t want him to see me so upset as he’ll just worry. I don’t know what to, this has all happened so fast and I’m so angry at the G.P and hospital for fobbing him off for months, knowing that could’ve made a difference. I’m trying to balance work and everything and it’s so hard. My (blood) family is literally just me, mum and dad, as my brother passed away suddenly just under two years ago. I’m so scared I won’t be able to cope. I’m very much a daddy’s girl, he stayed at home with me when I was a toddler.
Spend as mutch time with your dad is all i can say lost my dad in nov
My partner was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and his wishes are to die at home with me and his children. If he has another seizure he won’t go into hospital they will make him comfortable at home. I feel I’m grieving everyday for a man that is still here. In a matter of weeks he’s gone from walking to being bed bound at 55 He sleeps in the daytime and is awake at night which is really hard for me I’m running on empty. But I’m thankful every day I spend another day together. I try to be happy and jokey with him to keep him going but inside I’m dying. He is the love of my life and I can’t imagine one day without him x
