Dealing with death

My father in law who I live with was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in June and he is currently in his final days.

Hes not well enough to walk, eat or communicate properly and it is just the worst thing to watch.

it is truly horrible what cancer does to a person and their loved ones. 
is anyone going through anything similar who can impart some wisdom? 

  • I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. It sounds very difficult..

    The only thought I had comes from my experience in the care sector.i used to visit patients who were extremely ill and was often unsure as to what to say or do.  I actually found sitting in silence and just being there with them a comforting experience - hopefully for the both of us!

    My parents deteriorated very gradually before they died.  When they did die I found I had done most of my grieving before hand a.d their actual death was the less difficult part of the process . It may be that things are at their worst for you now and that things get easier in.the future.

    All the very best
