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

  • I completely sympathise. My dad's been told he has weeks after we thought he had a successful surgery. I feel completely numb and can't imagine life without him. I don't want him to see me worry and I want him to know I'll be fine but I never thought it would happen to me and our family. I always imagined how things would be, I get married next year. But life throws things that no one can understand and like many we deal, cope and move forward. Keep talking.
