My father was recently diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer with metastasis to liver, lymphnodes, stomach, abdominal lining. Although he seems to be doing okay emotionally, my mother seems to be in denial. She will not discuss with him getting his affairs in order and continues to talk about getting better and future events they will attend together. I know that denial is part of the process and that I cannot make her progress out of this step, but it is not helpful to my father. He is concerned about what will happen to her when he is gone and needs to know that she understands and will be okay. His time is limited due to the advanced progression of his disease and the aggressiveness of the cancer spread. Any advice is most appreciated.
