If your dad is dying he has a right to know.How dare your mother not tell him?Do you understand this is his life?He has a right to know! Maybe there are things he wants to say before he passes away.My father passed away in febuary so I know its horrible to have to let go.I just couldnt I hung on hope past what was good its better to accept it and prepare .Spend lots of time by his side hold hands help him anyway you can let him talk about whatever he wants.This is his life notyour moms he had a right to know.This doesnt mean He shouldnt get a second opinion.Or that he should give up to despair but if its true he had a right to be told.

I am so sorry to hear that, but I think most people would want to know.people want to know if they are to die to give them time to ay there goodbyes etc, which is better for those left behind in the long run.It can be harder if people don;t know and never said godye, and made any necesary plans and arrangments.
Your Mum is understandbly upset and it is common to get frustrated, angry and focus on things like that at this time. As the patient your father has the right to ask the doctor about condition and demnad to be told the truth.Right now my friend and her family are wating for her brother to die having been advised yesterday he will soon, the only comfort they will have is they had opportunity for goodbyes.my cousin died sudently recently, and nobody had the chance.
Make the most of the time you have left with him.

So sorry for your sadness.
Your mother must have been very hurt. Maybe your dad asked to be told ...maybe he really wanted to know. If that was the case then he would be better off knowing the truth. Tell your mother she did what she thought was best but your father may have asked to be told the truth so that he could 'tend to things he did not want to leave unfinished.

I take it you mean that the hospital told your father he was dying, when your mother had expressly asked them not to inform him?
If so, then it depends on what conversations had gone on before. Could it have been that your father had already spoken to the doctors before your mother and told them that he wanted to be kept informed of the prognosis regardless of what your mother might say? If that were the case, then the hospital/doctor would be obliged to tell him the truth. If not, then you may well have a case against the hospital, but you'd need to be more specific in your question to be able to say any more.....

I'm very sorry to hear about your father's illness. My mom died when I was 14 years old. I don't care how old you are when a parent dies. It's just really painful. My condolences.
I have to say, in my opinion, it was very selfish of your mother to not want to tell your dad of his terminal illness. Your dad needs this time to get his thoughts together, along with everything else. I'm sure your mother meant well but it is not in his best interest. Good luck to you and your family.

I think it was awful of the doctors to tell your father he is dying when your mother asked them not to.
That said, maybe you should seek some counseling and try to get help. You are going to have to be awfully strong to stand up to the future, with your father dying.
I wish you the best.

If you mean that your mother didn't want your dad to know he was dying then, frankly, that wasn't up to her. He has every right to know, rather obviously. It's a bit like Love Story, actually.
And I'm very sorry to hear that.
