Lost my dad almost two weeks ago

My dad was taken very very quickly to metrasophical oesophageal cancer  had the diagnosis on the Friday by Thursday early hours he was gone, I’m very very devastated I seem to only manage when I’m sorting out his estates and the funeral I want to do my best by him as my mom has myasthenia and is in recovery aswell so Its just me I was their every second with dad and wish I had done something to get him to hospital sooner and wish I spent more hours with him..
