My father battling cancer

My father has been battling cancer for some time. A while back I went to visit him believing that he might not make it. He got better for a while but is now again in a critical condition. Worse than before. He is confused and can not think straight. An inevitable process of life and death that we have no control over…we can only stand by and watch the mystery of life. I am sad tonight for my dad. As much as one understands life and death, death still remain a difficult emotion to deal with.

  1. Hi Jurgens,
    I’m so sorry for your father and you.
    I’ve been lucky so far as yesterday was my mother 86 birthday and can´t imagine how is like to live with out older family and being, actually, the older one.
    I’m also afraid of being alone…
    I don’t find death natural.
    A hug to you and your family, specially the children,
    Isabel

  3. I’m sorry to read about your father, of course. There is not much I can say except to encourage you the be as supportive as possible to your father and to the rest of your family.

  4. The loss of a loved one is always something to mourne, even when we know it’s the natural path, and they will be in rest at a batter place, we mourne for the time we will be missing them.

    *hugs and prayers your way*

    • Death is definitely difficult. Those of us left to carry on have to process our feelings and grieve for the loss of those we love. (((hugs)))

  5. I am sorry about your father. I know how it feels to watch a parent slip away. I lost my mom to cancer and I still remember it like it was yesterday. It’s been 14 years nearly. She was 43 years old. What kind of cancer does he have and at what stage is it? It’s never easy to accept death but we have to. If it’s God’s will to take him home, then I hope he goes peacefully. If he is still hanging on then I pray things turn around for the better and he is healed. I wish you the best and much peace at this time. Hugs.
