A thread for those supporting relatives with life limiting diseases.

[CharleyDavidson]

I know a lot of people come onto here because they are suffering themselves but I wondered if there would be a use for a thread for those who are supporting those who are suffering. Being strong for someone else is HARD and this could be a place to discuss the things that we are up against.

My own dad has a prognosis of a few months for a cancer diagnosis and it's just awful to see how ill he is and how sad he is about things. :(

This thread is rubbish if you actually need any support...there's never anyone posting on it!

@fuzzycustard I tried to start a thread for people who have partners dealing with cancer but it never took off. Happy to chat on a new thread

Hello ama. Good idea for a thread, especially for partners. There's a world of difference between supporting a partner and supporting a parent (in my head anyway; done both)
