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.

  • Hi Kelly,

    I know you posted this in 2018 but I was searching for help myself and stumbled across your post.

    Your situation very much resembles mine right now in the way that you lived in a different town & he was 54.

    I too feel like I am being stripped of our time together & finding it difficult as I'm trying to stay strong but I am already grieving.

    I hope you are in a much better place now & just wanted to message to say everything you've gone through sounds very similar to what I am experiencing. Your post has led me onto the advice that you received that I am using for my own reading. 
     

    All the best to you & hope you are ok.
