My father died of brain cancer in 2002. It was hard on the family. I know some of how you're feeling. Please continue to post here if it helps. Best wishes.

I'm so sorry about your dad

The self-centered part of me can't help but think about my own dad's inevitable death, whenever that may be.
I think you are right re: normalcy. My husband lost his dad to cancer (and his mom survived stage 4!), and that was one of the first things he said to me - that what his dad wanted most was to just hang out with loved ones and live as normally as possible.
