How do I cope? Grandad diagnosed with advanced liver cancer

Hi I'm new to this forum and not entirley sure how it works but I thought I'd try anything right now to make me feel better. 
 

My grandad has just been diagnosed with advanced liver cancer and they are sending him home on palliative care with not much else they can do. We are in total shock because it was never expected, in 3 weeks he just got ill and all of a sudden were looking at months left. This is the man that raised me since I was 2 years old and I'm really struggling with ways to cope. I'm finding myself supporting my gran and everyone else but don't feel as though I've got any support which probably sounds very selfish but I thought maybe this forum could give me some support and guidance of how to manage and get through each day. 
 

Thankyou x
