Hi Laura, I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. I always think it must be hard being a man and being unwell. Your dad will want to protect you as much as he can. If he doesn't want to talk about it respect that and talk about other things. He must have so much going on in his mind at the moment and may well need to figure some things out by himself. Ask him if there's anything that he needs you to do? I for instance contacted my dads brother and sister to tell them my dad was unwell after asking him if he wanted me to do that. I spent a lot of time with my dad just holding his hand and telling him I loved him oh and driving around getting him different food that he fancied. Michelle
