Ever face something so horrible you can't accept it?

My dad is dying from aggressive cancer. They wouldn't do chemo because he is already compromised being bed bound before his diagnosis, having a blood clot last year and being a stroke victim. They said chemo will kill someone with aggressive cancer , who is compromised, before the actual disease does.

This was VERY DIFFICULT to accept. Knowing he still could have possibly tried chemo, but that it was a "high chance" he'd get so sick he'd die sooner. It's just horrible this life sometimes. My dad just turned 72. He's in hospice now and was so miserable tonight..moaning and unable to articulate what he wanted to say. This is the first night it's happened we couldn't understand him. 😟I guess they said if he did do chemo it would have only provided a month more for him..but he'd be even more ill .
I'm not religious so I wish I knew when he passes, what will happen. I'm trying to remind myself his spirit will always be here. He will live on with me, and maybe another realm, who knows?? Thanks for hearing me vent. It's been agonizing facing this all so fast.Im trying to accept it but it's truly hard.

@OriginalNedKelly I'm just scared I'll get a panic attack when he passes. With heart palpitations. Because it feels so permanent 😟 But I'm trying to remember maybe even death is not permanent either. Thanks Ned🌟

@Baybreeze if that happens block them without question. There is no need for anyone to be hurtful during this time

@Cigarguy Oh ty friend ...maybe you misunderstood my reply above. I was saying I'm scared I'll get a panic attack if my dad dies. With heart palpitations. But I hope not.

@Baybreeze I am sorry I thought I read you were worried about people here treating you poorly and not understanding your trauma 💔. Maybe I confused a few post together, I'm sorry.


Just remember let yourself deal with the loss the way it needs to. Don't fight it. It's your faith it's your trauma it's your grief you deal with it the way you need to. There is no wrong way to deal with this loss when it comes and doesn't feel bad for what you and your body needs to do if it happens.
