I can not take the emotional stress from seeing my father decline anymore. I am essentially going it alone. I live alone, and I have few contacts. Thankfully I have a T and Pdoc, but seeing my T once a week and my Pdoc once a month does not give me enough contact to deal with this. To top it off I can not even let my emotions out to myself. I feel totally numb and want to SI instead of cry. I am also fighting the urge to SI, which makes it even harder to let my emotions out. I will be seeing my parents tomorrow. I will not show these emotions to either. My father needs my love, and my mother will not accept my father is dying. I just saw a listing of symptoms for pancreatic cancer and realized how many symptoms he has and is developing. He is dying when I do not know. I am hoping for enough strength to last until this crisis is over

Leacon,

I also am sending strengthand good thoughts to you. This sounds like it will be a difficult time for you. Do you have a spiritual and/or faith based practise that would help you to deal with some of the transition?

We are here for you. Please continue to post.
Thanks for this!

Leacon - you have my sympathys, thoughts, and prayers. I know what you are going through. If at all possiblel, let it out in the form of tears.... Crying is a healing of the mind and the body. Let it out... I hope that you do have a pastor or minister that you can turn to at this time. If your parents have one, they should invite him over to help your parents through this rough time in their lives. ((((((((((leacon)))))))))) You are never alone - your Guardian Angel is always beside you - and we are always here for you.
