coping with my dad dying

my dad has got lung cancer and has weeks to live we only found out a month ago and we are struggling. My dad is not just my dad he is my mate and im watching him die i hate it i cry and cry i try to keep it in when im with him cause he dont like seeing us like it but its so hard people say we are lucky that  we have this time with him to tell him things but my dad doesnt want to hear it he knows i love him and he loves me so theres not much else to say he has now mentioned what he wants for his funeral which is upsetting but atleast we know what he wants but having to see him like this is terrible i just dont want him to  suffer anymore but i dont want to let him go

    Your conflicting feelings of not wanting to let your dad go but not wanting him to suffer will be familiar to many on this site whose loved ones are ill. I hope others will be along shortly to offer you some support and that you get some comfort from coming here to talk at this difficult time.

    Best wishes to you and your family.
