I just found out last week that my Dad's brain tumor is back and now there is another one. I am devastated by this news and I am sure he is also. My Dad has been my rock since I was little! I can't imagine him not being here! My Mom died in 2008so it is even harder to accept this. I have two younger brothers but I don't hear from them very often. I hope I can hold it together when he goes.

I feel for you gal .my dad was like that too two years ago when he was diagnosed w stage IV lung cancer. His cancer was in remission for a year and a half before it came back full blown . His chemo was not working the second time around and when I.started working ,he went into hospice and he died three days in hospice . I know the feeling . I was devastated too when my mom died four years ago. My dad drank heavily after my mom past away . Both of my parents were my rock . Now that they are both gone ,I have my choir director to talk to when it's hard on me .

Hi gruvingal, I so sorry, I can imagine you're really hurting right now. But try not to hold all of that in, if you can then try to share some of that pain. And remember we're here for you too
Maybe your Dad would be open to conversations, and emotions about how you're feeling?? For some people in that situation they aren't going to want the "pretending things are OK/going to be OK" going on around them "a lot of the time", they're going to want that honesty and that "open doorway" to talk about things inc. feelings and memories/to talk about what might happen and to comfort their children/know that they can make things just a little better for them when/after............ So now might be a good time to talk about things you've shared, things that have been important in your life, memories.............. And if possible maybe plan in some trips to "special" places, places special to you both, or just spend some real time together. I'm sure you know that time with him is precious anyway, but maybe try to hold onto that knowledge as much as possible, and make the most of it. I know emotions are going to completely ignore that at times but that's natural. And when they do, just know that you can talk about them if/when you want, and if to no-one else, we'll still be here for you. Alison |

Yes, we all live in the same city and I can see him whenever I want. I plan to spend as much time as possible with him.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
