Bereavement

Just found out that my Dad has inoperable lung cancer - how will we cope?

Can't type much now as I'm so upset but I need to get it out of my head onto paper. DH is being a star as is DD (2.6) who keeps giving me her teddies to "help".

I feel numb and sick and I'm not ready to lose my Daddy. He's in hospital until they can sort out care at home and Mac nurses. I haven't spoken to him yet. My sister told me and I've phoned my mum. I'm going to visit him tomorrow.

I can't believe this - I can't lose my dad.

Thank you.

Sphil - I'm crying at the thought of you crying.

Spud - my back us playing havoc and I've had a sore throat threatening for a couple of days. My poor Mum has low blood oxygen levels and is suffering.

Tearful reading about your Dad's funeral. Things will be sad and weird for ages and sometimes the oddest things will set you off but there will be times when something unexpected makes your heart lift - take care of yourself first so you can take care of everyone else. And nothing you feel is wrong. x

Oh no - didn't mean to make you cry more! It was because it was so lovely. Thinking of you and your Mum - it's a hard time for you. xx
