Hi everyone.
My dad just died from cancer this week, the deterioration over the past number of weeks was just so quick. I found it so distressing watching him physically and emotionally fade away in front of us.
I am in my twenties, and my mother just doesn't seem to be coping. I am the one who has had to phone the funeral home etc. She keeps needing to lie down and seems on the verge of an anxiety attack or similar at all times. Everything has to be repeated for her and she is so easily aggravated.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and have you any advice?
My heart is broken, I've lost my dad and now have to be the "adult" of the situation for my younger sibling, with little to no support from our mother. I also feel cruel saying that. Life can be so tough. None of my friends have lost their dad, and I find their messages are kind but it's hard when they (thankfully) don't understand. It's all very lonely.
