My dad's sick... all of a sudden he can barely walk. He's always been so strong... I wanna scream, it's just not fair.

Yes next week will be the anniversary of my daddy's death. HE was diagnosed with lung cancer and over the 8 months after I watched as a strong, funny, caring, loving, and wonderful man fall hard and fast into his sickness. I watched him go from a robust man who had and still is my hero get weaker and weaker, withering down to a shadow of his former self. It pained me more than I can ever explain, he had so much life left so much love to give and within the blink of an eye he was gone. Give your father all the love you can now, it may be a horrendous sight to watch but the love you give him will make it easier I promise.

My mom is my best friend - and have been a witness to the rapid decline in her health - she has dementia - has suffered a stroke - I care 4 her now - since she was discharged from a period in hospital - I knew she was vulnerable - as she could not feed herself - she is well enough now she is with me - she is in good health considering the deterioration of her cognitive ability - I am happy that she is cared for here with me - fortunately I have a home office - I work from home now -like alot people today with the pace of information technology - I am a writer and really enjoy my home environment - useful easful lifestyle - I have always been happiest - working for myself and I have been very successful as a self employed individual in the retail business - my specialist category - holistic and complementary medicine - I am what you wld call a barefoot doctor.

Yes, it was a neighbor friend of ours who had been told by her doctor she had cancer of the stomach. She took him as seriously as he "seemed" to divine the life she still had on this earth!
She used to come over our house and talk only, and she would cry about every minute which passed by, as she was dying.
She never again talked about anything else, this poor lady!
The doctor had said 6 months and 6 months she religiously believed.
Well she was only a couple of days short of 6 months, when she died.
If only doctors did not so often play God and give hope instead of a DEATH sentence Through an approximation of time, certain people would not take it, brand it into their brain
as if it had been WRITTEN by Fate, or by God.
For 6 months, Rose, this lady could think of nothing else than death waiting assuredly at the end of 6 months!
I believe that positive feeling will influence us, as much as negativity does.
Why then not offer hope, by not looking ahead and announcing a date and time on the clock, at which death will take you?
Well...it was a very sad thing to witness. What had been a vibrant, funny, kind woman was reduced to a frightened bundle of tears, Which every day, at every moment would lament her announced time of death.
No man is God!

Yes and it is the most helpless feeling in world. I am sorry about you're dad and what you are feeling and going through.
My sister-in-law found out she had cancer in January and died in March, about 4 years ago. I watched someone I loved like a sister, grow weaker each day. If you want to scream, yell, and cry- there are no right or wrong emotions! Thinking of you and your dad!!

Yes, my mom back in 91 and other family and relatives. The family was never the same after my mom passed. It makes me very sad when people can't get over little stuff and enjoy people when they are here. Cherish every moment you have left and best of wishes during this hard time.

Yes both my father and mother, try to help him, it will make you feel better in the long run that you did. My father was a big strong man and suffered for 6 years, my daughter and I cared for him all those years it was hard but we felt good we helped him and didn't put him away in a nursing home with strangers.
God Bless you and good luck........if you ever need to talk..

Yes to several loved ones and friends over the years and it is never easy. You feel a great loss for as long as you can remember but you manage to go on. Good Luck and hang in there you will be OK.

Yes, I recently watched both my parents go downhill. My husband and I had to take care of their financial and physical well-being. None of my siblings were interested in taking part. Get some help! There are several government and non-government agencies available to you. Some examples, are senior centers, United Way agencies, and the outreach arms of your local hospitals.

My mother was diagnosed with cancer, three months later she was dead. During this time I watched as she went through radiation therapy. Her body was not strong enough fro surgery, the cancer was to aggressive. The last week of her life I sat by her bed as she was in and out of awareness. There were times she didn't even know who I was. I lost my job as well because my boss thought I was lying. This all happened the week of her b-day and mother's day. As to how it made me feel? Helpless, and I also tried to look at it from her eyes. She was in so much pain from the cancer she was ready to die, so I made my closure with her and accepted that.

First of all I am so sorry to hear about your father.
I have witnessed this a lot since I am a nurse aide that has worked in nursing homes.
To tell you the truth some has touched me deeply than others.
