Hiya,

I was in the same situation back in November. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away 2 months later in January just gone. If I could give any advice its just spend as much time with him as possible and let him know how much you love him. My biggest regret is that the weaker my dad got the more difficult it became for me to be around him, simply because it was so hard to see him like that. You'll pull the strength from somewhere though. Taking it day by day is all you really can do. My dad just gave up in the end, but hopefully yours will surprise you and keep on fighting so you have a little longer with him. X

So sorry to read this. My dad died on December 12th after being diagnosed with lung cancer on 03 November. It's hard and it's sad and sadly you will cry a lot but you can do it. 
 

just take each day at a time. Be there where you can for him and take comfort in that he knows you love him. My dad always said bye bab when I left and I will remember that always. 
 

do what you can but no one will blame you if you struggle. It's something life altering but you will pull the strength from inside you. Xx

Thank you so much to both of you for your words of advice. I'm so sorry to hear about your Dads xx it must still be very raw to both of you and so I appreciate you being able to talk about it. I'm trying my best to talk too as I guess it can help. I think I'm finding it hard in that I don't have many friends that have lost parents yet. I'm an only child too so I think I just feel a bit alone in that sense. My mum and Dad are still married but have had a hard married life and argued a lot and so although I know my mind going though this too I feel it's a little different.

I will spend as much time as possible with him. My children bring him a lot of joy and are thank fully too young to understand. They make him smile a lot an that gives me comfort. 
 

I can't thank you both enough for your responses. Just to know I'm not alone and others have been there xx
