Hi Ann, welcome to the forum, but so so sorry for why you are here. Wow, you and your sister are sure getting hit with a lot of pain all at once. You really haven't had an opportunity to grieve the loss of your Mom and now you are dealing with your Dad who is so ill with this terrible disease. From what you've said here, it seems like he became quite ill very quickly and is now in a lot of pain. I hope you are in touch with his treatment team, or at least his family doctor to get pain meds for him. There is no reason for anyone to be in pain these days when we have access to pain meds that can help. Its' great that you have your sister and that you and she can support each other through yet another tragedy in your lives. You don't say if you have other family members available to you as well. I hope you do and also friends can be very supportive at a time like this as well. You say you are numb and empty and no wonder, with just having lost your Mom to this disease.

Come on to the forum any time and just write about your feelings of sadness. It does really help to write this down and other forum members will respond eventually where you will receive support from others on here who are, or have gone through what you are going through now.

Take care and sending hugs to you and your sister.

Lorraine
