need to rant

Im 20 years old and I feel like my life is over , I have a beautiful home , fiancé , child and family and friends but one thing I just CANT deal with is the fact my dad won't be with me in maybe days weeks months or years ... The fact is I DONT KNOW!? how can I live my life not knowing when my dad is going to die but knowing the day is soon. Maybe if he got hit by a car I'd accept it more because it would be instant ... I don't know I think I need some me time I'm just terrified 

  • Hi Sophie, I am in the same boat as you apart from being 25. My dad has weeks maybe months left and knowing that he won't be here some time soon makes my mind go crazy! I too have a fiance and we have a 21 month old daughter which is my Dad's first and probably last grandchild and this breaks my heart. And let's not even think about my wedding :-( we can have a rant together!
  • So sorry to hear both you and Karla are going through this with your Dads. I'm exactly the same, I'm 27 I'm engaged to my partner of 8 years we have a beautiful little boy whose almost 3 years old, we own our own home so we have a lot to be thankful for however a big dark cloud hovers over me constantly and that is the thought of losing my dad who was diagnosed 15 months ago with stage 4 incurable bowel cancer which has spread to his lungs and liver. Knowing that he will die one day from this dreadful cancer terrifies me, watching him deteoriate, struggle, knowing what he and my mum are going through daily together hurts like hell. Knowing he may never walk me down the aisle, meet another child of mine, see his little grandson grow up to remember him properly. I know how you both feel. It's like a prolonged suffering, that doesn't go away, that doesn't get any better...it leaves you feeling scared, worried, uncertain of the future. I understand and I'm here to chat to anyone of you. 

    Big hugs x
