  • Hello daisy123el,

    I'm sorry to learn about your dad and how this news has impacted you and the family. It's a difficult time for you so it's important to talk to people close to you when you need support. The palliative care team are there to offer you guidance on where you can access support in your local area. 

    Keeping communication open with your siblings can also help you to navigate the next steps together. There is information on caring for the carer when someone is dying on our website and the forum is always here for you whenever you need it.

    I hope this is helpful in some way,

    Moderator Anastasia
