My dad's dying and I'm not coping

Hi there my dad's been fighting throat cancer for the past 2 years. Twice we had been told he had the all clear and both times 6 weeks later we have then been told it's back and more aggressive. We have been told.this week he now has bone cancer and it's terminal. I'm devastated. I know it selfish but I'm only 27 and feel far too young to be losing my 46 yr old.dad.. I'm strong when around people and feel like it's up to me to ensure everyone is OK and coping but when I'm on my own I'm a mess...I feel like I have so many unanswered questions. We don't know how long he has left and it's breaking my heart that my once strong fit healthy dad is a shadow of his former self. I just can't imagine my future without him in it he's my rock x
