A living grief and I don't know how to cope

I'm so sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I'm at my wit's end.

Several weeks ago my dad was rushed to hospital with a perforated ulcer which was operated on successfully but he has contracted pneumonia and he's not responding to antibiotics and is slowly fading as far as I can see.

If he dies, I just don't know how to cope. I can't sleep at night, I can't carry out simple tasks like stripping the bed and tidying up as I just feel so consumed with grief even though he's still alive.

He is terrified of dying and this just breaks my already shattered heart.

I'd be so grateful to anyone who can offer advice. I love him so much and I am terrified of how to cope if the worst happens and how to tell my son who is 3. I'm also 18 weeks pregnant and haven't told anyone other than my close family. I don't feel like I can break happy news when I'm facing the worst time of my life.

I don't know how to function or cope and I'm worried about my lovely mum.

Please be gentle with me.
