My dad is dying of cancer

Hello there, I need to speak bout this because I feel like I'm going to suffocate. My dad has cancer of the bowel which has spread to his liver and lungs so it's become terminal. I don't know how long I have left with him and try to visit s much as I can. I live in a different town. I am trying to stay strong for him but he's becoming noticeable ill looking which is harder to sweep under carpet and pretend it's not happening he is only 54 and I thought I might of had at least another 10 years plus with him. I know I can't change the way life works but I feel soo angry and bitter and sad and I'm taking it out on the one person who is there for me which is my partner. I feel like I'm grieving already if that doesn't sound daft, when he clearly hasn't passed yet. I feel like it's not fair for any 1 to go through this. I have aniexty attacks because I keep thinking to when he has to leave me. And scared to get close to any1 cause I'm scared that they will leave me too. I don't know who to turn to, where to get help. Any suggestions please. I'm really depressed and like I said I'm trying to stay strong for him but I feel like breaking down.

  • Hello Kelly, my dad died of cancer a few years ago and I'm only young so it was really hard. But when he was here and was suffering with this awful illness, watching him everyday getting worse was so hard. But luckily I had my friends there for me. How I coped with this was talking to someone, maybe a friend, collegue, or even your dad. Anyone to talk to helps a lot. One time I saw him and he looked awful. And I just couldn't take it. So I spoke to a tutor at my school and she helped me get through it a lot. Everyday after school I would meet up with her and have a long talk about how my day was. Sometimes we would both cry. And then when he died it happened the day before my birthday. And that was so hard. But trust me. Everything will be ok. If you just believe that it will be fine. And I hope your dad is ok because knowing that someone might go through the same thing I did is heartbreaking. Hope your ok x
