Feeling sad

I am not sure where to post this, or even why I am posting. I'm sitting here just feeling so sad. My dad is dying, he has had cancer for what feels like forever and there is nothing left to be done. It could be hours or days, but not long now. In many ways it will be a blessed relief, as he is in so much pain. But I feel so sad. My children only remember him being ill, and he has had no voice for such a long time that I can't even remember what he sounds like. He has lost so much weight, and is so ill. He is in so much pain. I feel so alone, I have no-one to talk to and this is a way of letting it out. I am just so bloody tired of pretending everything is fine when I just want to cry and be looked after right now. I am so angry that he has to suffer like this. I wish I could cry, I'm sure that would help, but don't seem to be able to. If I start I might never stop. No-one in RL knows how I am, they all think I'm so strong, but I feel so alone and isolated right now. I can't sleep, I am so tired but still awake. Feeling sad. When I sleep I dream of him dying, and feel even sadder.

This time a year ago, my lovely Mum went the Dr. with a headache. After further tests she was told that there was a definate shadow on her brain and was sent to Addenbrookes for removal of the growth. The Dr.s told us that they'd aim to remove 50% of it, but after a lengthy sergury came out saying they'd taken 90%. We were all thrilled untill December 23rd 2007 (only 7 months ago) when we found out that it was stage 4 cancer and they predicted that Mum had 18 months-2 years left.
The bottom fell out of our world.
Mum deteriorated far too fast and died in the hospice 3 weeks ago today.

Oh Goober, I am so sorry, that is so awful.

When I'm not feeling sad I get so angry at the unfairness of it all. Outwardly I'm calm and together, but inside, I'm a mess. I just don't know how to feel really.
