Finding hard to cope

My elderley father has terminal cancer and is getting worse.  My Mother is his carer and does a brilliant job but I worry about her.  I live very close and they always used to come tome for sunday lunch.  My father will go ot for lunch but he doesnt want to come around to me anymore.  I am doing everything they say but find it so hard to cope and just get on with my life.  I have frends and it does help but you just feel they have their own lives also and dont want to burden them with your worries or concerns.I have this horrible sick feeling in my stomache that just wont go.  I just feel so helpless

    Hi Maisie,

    Welcome to this friendly forum. That is why this site exists so that you can offload your feeling and fears on here to people who know exactly what you are going through. I think we all feel helpless as in real terms there is nothing we can do medically speaking to stop this evil called cancer. All we can do is exactly what you are trying your best to do and that is all anyone can do. It's so hard seing someone you love slowly fading away. I hope others will come along soon to offer support.

    Please keep in contact. Sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way, Brian.
