My ex-partner (father of our children) has been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma multiforme tumour. We are already a month in and nothing has happened in terms of his treatment. Surgery is not possible. His short-term memory is affected and he has fluctuating capacity (no LPoA). He is a brilliantly talented man but cannot hold onto information, so each time he is told about his diagnosis, it is re-traumatising. I don't know how long we have left with him but he and our 2 children (both adolescents) are my priority. The heartbreak is unbearable; I don't know what to be doing.
I feel time is slipping away. I want to have conversations about our children, what he wants for them but I don't know where to start because he can't remember his diagnosis. He is constantly questioning though because he is so intelligent - he knows something is not right, but he can't make sense of it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
