So my Dad is dying of cancer

[Texastintchick]

And it has been a rollercoaster. I have officially decided it is better to die fast (car accident, heart attack, etc...) for the family members. My Mom dies in a car accident and it was kind of like ripping off the bandaide... My Dad has been going down hill for over a year and this is just awful. One day he will be doing great, the next not so much. Ugggg Sorry for the vent but I am just YUCK!

Sorry to hear that, TTC ! Prayers are your way !

I too, still thankfully have both my Parents, I can to a slight degree relate from watching my Mother in Law as she was going downhill.

Hang in there as best you can !

Sorry to hear that TTC It's one of the hardest things to go through. We home nursed my father-in-law until he lost his battle with cancer and the rollercoaster is a good way to describe it, it's tough on everyone involved. Hang in there.

I feel your pain. Please accept my virtual hug and shoulder squeeze. A couple years ago my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just before Christmas and given a 3 month prognosis. She was around a little longer so we were thankful for the things we got to do with her on the "good " days!! Do what you can with your dad and try taking turns with other family on the "less than good" days. Try and encourage him to talk about some of the cool things he got to do when your younger family is around. Keeping spirits up is easier when talking about fun stuff. Roller coaster rides are supposed to be a lot of fun and a little scary not the other way round.

Sorry to hear that. It's very hard, my wife just lost her cousin who she was very close to, to cancer, a rollercoaster barely describes it.......

Sorry to hear that TTC. About 3 years ago we finally found out that my Mom's problems were lung cancer that spread throughout her body. Once that was discovered it was only about 2 weeks before she passed. I am so glad looking back on it that she passed quickly, but it sure put a wrench in every aspect of my life at the time. My prayers are with you. It is hard to deal with because there is the selfish little kid that really wishes she could have been here longer to see more of my kids growing up, but the logical side of me feels she is better off letting go. I did not want to see my mom at the Hospice, but I am glad my wife made me go. She passed away within hours of me getting there and telling her it was Okay to let go. That was so hard to do but so helped me move on. I pray the best outcome for you and your family.
