I don’t know if this is the right place to post, but I feel a bit desperate at the minute to find people who may feel the same as me. 

Just over 5 weeks ago my dad received a cancer diagnosis, which we have been told has spread, and it is now more of a case of pro longing his life rather than curing it. It has been one of the hardest experiences, I am constantly worried. He has lost his mobility and it has just been awful to watch. I’m currently in my early 20s and nearly 7 months pregnant, and my emotions are just all over the place, and I am really struggling to know who to talk to, or know how to talk to anyone about the matter, as I can’t help but feel it is very depressing. I am starting to worry about work, I haven’t been since we have found the news out, mainly to deal with my emotions, but also to help my dad. I do not feel ready to go back, I am so anxious, but still have a month left until my maternity leave.

I don’t know how long he will have, or really anything regarding the journey ahead, and I just really would like if anyone has any advice on how to cope, and how they approached work.
