Feeling very sad today...it is starting to destroy me....

Hi,

My dad has bladder cancer and he recently had a kidney stone.   He is having such a hard time and as his caretaker it is really starting to get to me.   I am really sad, have anger outbursts and don't know how to handle this whole CANCER thing.

He was always my pillar of strenght and now he is so weak.

I am just so so so sad, praying that God must take me at night so I won't wake up.

If I feel this way, i cannot imagine what he must feel like.

Xmas is suppose to be a happy time, I am so down, CRYING all the time and getting really worried about myself.

Any other care giver feeling this way?  Is this normal?

  • Hi there,

    You are certainly not on your own with this!

    Not only have I a parent going through cancer also but I work for the NHS and I take referrals for carers going through the exact same thing! Try to contact your local NHS referral service or try to get a social worker involved to give advice, councilling or help with the actual care. Its very common for me to see this in my office.

    Hope this helps a little!
