Angry at people visiting now death is near

So it's looking like there's a possibility that things are progression rapidly regarding my dad's cancer. 

I'm baffled at why people magically appear and make a effort to visit when the looming passing of someone is happening. 

 

It's making me so angry why people can make efforts to visit when death is near yet they haven't sound the time over the years when dad is healthy to visit. 

 

Am I alone with this feeing and if you have had the same scenario how did you cope ? 

 

Thanks

    Hi!

    Im so sorry about your dad.

    I'm in the exact same position with my mum! My mum currently has days left to live and there's been a few 'friends' asking to visit now she is dying, however these never saw her when she was healthy! 
    I completely understand your frustration. 
    I ended up writing a public post on Facebook kindly asking for people to stop asking to visit her as it is crutial for immediate family to be there at a time like this, also we wouldn't not want anyone to see her the way she is also. 

    sending you so much love and thoughts x
