How?

How does anyone deal with a parent having cancer and knowing they're going to die?

My dad was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer three years ago, it was the biggest shock since he's never smoked and I guess you just never think it's going to happen to someone you love.

He's been through so much brain tumour/stroke and also this. He's the strongest, kindest person I know. He's everything to me. 

Recently things have gone down hill and the cancer has spread. I can't stand to see him suffer, to slowy be consumed by this horrendous disease. I also can't imagine life without him. 

All I do is cry and it just doesn't stop. I really don't know how it's possible to deal with all of this and what is yet to come.
