I am so sorry to read this. I lost my dad in April (he was 59) to liver and lung cancer, although he had had treatment for 4 years the actual recurrence of the cancer and move to palliative care was super sudden and from late March when we were told it was no longer treatable he passed peacefully 3 weeks later. I hope that doesn’t make you feel worse, it’s really just to say this is hard and heartbreaking but grab every second. I also cared for my dad at his home and it was at all times devastating and a privilege to be with him, I wish I could give you a huge hug. I hope you have had hospice or district nurses reach out to you, if not please have someone do that for you as you’ll be so busy with Dad but the hospice nurses were wonderful. Say everything you need to say and hold his hand. I’m so sorry, it’s hard to put into words how this part you’re in now but you know it without me saying it that this is so devastating. Here for you.

I’m so sorry for your  loss and thank you for your kind words.  The district nurses will start coming tomorrow, dad is feeling weaker each day that passes, I feel so helpless sometimes and scared of the unknown and of what is coming but trying to make the most of each day. Thank you again for reaching out.
