Kelly, when my dad was first diagnosed I had many anxiety attakcs as well and still do, althoughn less frequent. I suffer from anxiety very badly and growing up, losing a parent was always a fear of mine so this makes it even worse. I kind of ignored it at first because it was too painful for me to see it, but I talked with my dad about my anxieties with this siutation and it really helped me. I channel my anxiety now and use it to help my dad like cooking and cleaning for him. All my energy goes ot something useful so I am so worn out by the end of the day I can't be upset. It's normal to be anxious though, and I understand how you are feeling. Greiving before his death I think is normal because the way I think, the dad I had a year ago has already passed. He will never be able to do the things he used to. I don't want you to regret not being there for your dad. I think your anxiety would be worse. Take care xxx.
