Feeling slightly fraudulent. My Father is 82, he has had cancer and beaten it twice but this time, he can't win. I know we expect our parents to die at some point, certainly at this age but my Dad isn't your normal octogenarian. He and my mother have been married almost 60 years, they have 5 children and 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. He has always been much younger than his years. We are a very close family. We are all struggling to cope with this final estimation of his remaining time.
I've read a lot of posts and am very comforted by the support given so generously on here.
I'm not coping with the thought of losing him most especially as I suffer with chronic depression. I've been told not to cry in front of him. There are so many things I want to say to him but I know I will cry. So I'm holding it all in.
