cancer sadness?

Question

my grandpa has cancer, how can i get through this sad time?

Answer 1

Surround yourself with people who also love your grandpa and know what is going on. Support each other with hugs and being able to talk and cry. Support your grandpa by just being around when he would like that.

Answer 2

Try to keep a positive attitude. Many people are cured of cancer these days. Spend time with him, talking about the good times you've shared. If he becomes ill from chemotherapy or radiation treatments, continue to be with him as much as you can -- he may look different, but it's still the grandpa you love. Do the things he likes to do, whether it's playing checkers, watching movies, or whatever. Maybe he will want you to read to him. Make sure he knows how much you love him.

It is very sad to lose a loved one, I know. Even though it's difficult, one must face the fact that death is an inevitable part of life. It will be difficult for your mom and dad, too. You can help each other through this difficult time.

Answer 3

First (((hugs))). I am so sorry that your grandpa has cancer.

As others have said here, spend as much time with him as you can. When he is not feeling well, bring him anything that might make him happy. Laugh about good times together. play games with him if he feels up to it, watch videos (DVD'S), take walks...whatever brings a smile to his face.

On days he is feeling less than positive you have to stay strong and positive yourself. It is, however, OK to let him know how scared you are and even cry together.

There are wonderful support groups for both the person with cancer and their family. Check with Grandpa's doctor or see if you can locate such a group through the local cancer society. If Grandpa isn't already involved maybe offer to take him and go together. It has helped my husband, our children and me a lot to attend support group, mediation classes, etc. together.

Positive thoughts and hugs.

Answer 4

My b/f Mom is sleeping as I write this, in her final days. She is his only family. Every day is different and can be very emotional. Make the most of the time you spend w/ him.. Go see him! Play cards or do something you both can do together. It's hard to pretend nothing is wrong, so talk about it w/ him a little. Tell him you love him no matter what..

Answer 5

Just do what my grand children do with me... They come by to see me as often as the can but they call me every day.... They dont mention the cancer nor do they ask me why my hair has fallen out.. We go to church sometimes (I go alll the time) and we have sunday dinner. Good luck and God bless...

Answer 6

Spend as much time with him as you can. Call him when you can't spend time with him. I took extra time out to spend with my grandfather when he was very sick, and I've always been glad I did. He's been gone for 16 years now, but I have wonderful memories of him, even when he was too sick to get out of bed.

Answer 7

dont worry. spend as much time as possible with him. Be positive and try to take things as it comes. It is not easy to lose someone you love. But still......one day it is going to give him a relief afterall....so ...be brave and face it. all the best
