My estranged Dad (we have only spoken twice in 30 years) has informed me that he has terminal cancer. This has been confirmed by other family members.
He seems to want some contact with me. However, it sounds wicked, but I dont feel anything for him, he is a total stranger to me. I dont wish what hes going through on anyone and have sympathy for his situation. However, I dont feel trying to have a relationship after all this time is going to be helpful to either of us.
I wish him peace and have no anger towards him, but just have nothing to say to him.
I thought I'd send a card, but have spent a week, completely at a loss of what to write in it.
I dont want to upset him, but dont want contact either.
What do you say to someone just diagnosed as terminally ill ?
