Waiting for my Dad to die and I can't do this. Pancreatic cancer spread to liver, he's so uncomfortable and they can't do anything to help him now. This is beyond distressing - you would put an animal to sleep. Just wanted to vent - he doesn't deserve it.

Ago, so sorry you’re dealing with this. I am too. My dad is also dying. He is in hospital with secondary cancer. My dad is yellow too. It’s so horrific, no one should have to suffer like this - and my dad is fully aware of what’s happening. It will be a relief when it’s over and I hate myself for even thinking that 😢.

Hoping for a peaceful night for you all

Dad passed away in the early hours of this morning. It was peaceful in the end and the bloody hiccups finally went away. We were with him.

I just want to thank every single one of you who took the time to post and offer support, advice and their own experiences - it helped so much at a horrendous time.

I'm off to sleep for a week now. Thanks again lovely people

You're story sounds very similar to my mum - mumsnet kept me going the final few hours too.

Love and strength to you x

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you’ve got people around you that can care for you as lovingly as you have cared for your father. If you need additional support with how you’re feeling, especially in light of how quickly it’s all happened, you can contact Cruse bereavement support.

Sorry for your loss, TG he had a peaceful passing. All the very best to you all xx

BirthdayRainbow · 11/05/2024 12:19

I'm so sorry @NooNakedJacuzziness 💐. You are bound to be in shock at the speed.

My Nana had 10 weeks from diagnosis and that was hard enough. A relative by marriage was diagnosed on the Monday and died the Friday. So shocking.

TheTeaCosyofDoom · 11/05/2024 13:03

Had a similar experience with my lovely partner including the incurable hiccups: it is hell on earth. After he died I felt such relief that his suffering was at an end, you must allow yourself to feel the same. May your lovely Dad now be at peace and may he be reaping the rewards of what I am sure was a good life well lived. Look after yourself, and if your loved ones still living want to look after you then let them, you deserve it. And let your grief out properly, don't do as I did and keep it all in. Sixteen months later I am still not right. Much love to you and 🌹for your darling Dad.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 11/05/2024 13:18

Thanks @TheTeaCosyofDoom - today feels so wrong, people acting like it hasn't happened and making dumb conversation. His body was taken away too quickly although I know it has to be done
