I'm so very sorry for your loss and that you are now dealing with your dad's illness, hope you have someone or a group to go to that you can get support and people who can understand what your going through.

I too lost my mom; to heart disease. My father passed two years ago as well; throat cancer. I know what you are going through is very hard to cope with. It may feel like life is so cruel right now, but eventually you will be able to move on. It’s been a year and a half since the day my mom passed and I’m sure I lost my grip that day. It’s been rough, but it’s so much better now. You have to remember that it’s all a natural part of life and this will not happen once or twice... you will lose your closest loved ones throughout life and the people who love you, will lose you as well. I don’t mean to come off unsympathetic. The best way I found to cope with losing those you love most, is acceptance, time, and forgiveness. Your father is still here, make the best of your moments together. I know you’ll feel better. It’s hard to see that in the eye of the storm.

So beautiful to have children 😊 They will learn so much from how you handle this. Be strong. I’ll whisper prayers in hopes of better days for you. You got this!
