Answer 1

Make the most of your time with him

Answer 2

Cancer is a scary disease, no question, especially when a loved one has a prolonged battle with it.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to communicate -- with friends, with family, people you trust such as a counselor or minister, etc. Most importantly, communicate with your grandfather -- this event should help you understand how precious and limited our time together sometimes is.

Even if your grandfather makes it through, and I certainly hope he does, take this time to let him know how much you love him anyway. Love, above all, is a healing emotion, and while it may not be able to turn the tide of his disease, it can help him immeasurably as time goes on.

If he is in hospice, then take advantage of their resources. Hospice groups often offer bereavement groups for people of all ages and sometimes special events, such as camps or retreats, to help you learn how to heal. Even if he isn't in a hospice program, look in the phone book or on the Internet for grief resources in your area, many of which will be available to you no matter what happens.

If you believe in a higher power, that can be a great resource as well. But even if you don't, you can take comfort in friends, family and other concerned people.

Death touches us all, and it is never in a convenient way. It's terrible to watch people close to us suffer. But you can make the most of however much time you and your grandfather have to enjoy with one another. I hope it's for many years more. And if not, no matter what, you'll know you made the most of the time you spent with him.

Answer 3

be supportive to your grandpa and do what ever you can to make him comfortable and talk with him as much as possible. the last thing you need is for him to pass and you were not there for him and your family. remember this will be hard for him and he will need the support of his family no matter what. good luck and best wishes to you and your family. happy holidays=)

Answer 5

I know how you feel...but unfortunately things happen that we wish wouldn't. I lost my pop in Sept., and it was so hard to go through. Lean on your family for support because they are going throught the same fear and hurt you are. Just remember to tell him you love him and let him know you'll be ok no matter what....he needs you to be strong...and you need to be strong for you.

Answer 6

Join a support group with the cancer society, or your local palliative care center, Enjoy your time with him. Support and encourage him
Best of luck.
