I live with my dad who has terminal cancer. My mum moved out 5 years ago and I don’t talk to her and there’s no one else in my family. Just me and dad. It’s hard because he is battling cancer and going through treatment and I have no one to turn to or no one In the same position as me. Is anyone else feeling alone?
Believe me you are not alone. My mom just got over cancer and I’m an only child. I understand how it feels to have no one to turn to or no family to rely on.
How did you deal with it on your own? Did you learn any coping strategies?
hi, I always find that writing stuff down helps me. my dad is in a similar position and is at the hospice a lot so I find that talking to the volunteers is helpful, not even necessarily about cancer or how I feel just about random stuff like hot chocolate etc I'm not particularly crafty but people keep saying to me draw or to make stuff so you could try that?? hope this helps :-)
