If you've ever felt utterly helpless and scared...

How did you accept it or heal it?


Watching my dad in hospice as of a week tomorrow, it's been PAINSTAKING. He has aggressive cancer that could not be treated with chemotherapy. Being a stroke victim too and MS made him in a high percentage of dying from chemo than the disease itself. He's been sleeping all day , most days, but today at noon he was awake an hour..that was huge.

But tonight he was so weak again, and saying nonsensical things. He was moaning in pain and just seemed so uncomfortable..
Watching this SHIT cancer take over his entire body and mind, I feel HELPLESS. And the one tiny thing that was positive was he was on a steroid that helped inflammation.now hospice took that away because the side effects outweigh the benefits. I just am mad that we can't do anything to truly save someone ..and one day soon he could pass and I dont know how Ill cope🙁

One day at a time.

It's going to hurt and it's going to be hard, I'm sorry.

You can cope by talking about it here and with your therapist. You can try different hobbies and do a little traveling maybe.

You carry on by living your life so that when it's your time, you have lived a full life.

Just please keep talking about it. People will get annoyed, at least that's what happened to me, but keep talking. It real and it's so hard so don't hold it in.
