My Dad has been recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in bowel, liver and lung. He’s starting treatment on Tuesday but it’s not a cure, it’s palliative care.
My Dad is so stoic and very proud so has made it clear that only my Mum and his doctors will see him in the ‘bad moments’. I completely respect this but also happy to jump in if needed.
I’m trying to be there for my Mum who is really struggling as you can imagine but I honestly don’t know what to say. It won’t get better and we’re all going to lose someone who we love and adore.
I’m feeling very numb about it and not really sure why. I was expecting to be more ‘upset’ as that’s my usual go-to but I just feel numb.
I’m thinking a lot but not about anything in particular. I’m just numb at everything.
any tips on how I can support both my parents would be appreciated! Thank you
