Hi, I'm new here. Cancer affects me in 2 ways: I'm a 27 yr old kidney cancer survivor, which is nearly unheard of in my age group. After having my kidney and several ribs removed, I'm completely cancer free. However, my father, 57, has just been diagnosed as terminal with stage 4 cancer of the esophagus and stomach. Here is my question to everyone: when someone knows they only have a few months to live, how do you support them emotionally? What I mean is, my father is going through all the stages, anger, sadness, depression, etc. How do I help him through these last few months of pain and anguish? My worst fear is to have his final days be filled with sadness and depression; I would like him to leave at peace. Being geographically distant is not helpful either. Can anyone help a loving daughter who just wants to see her wonderful father deal emotionally with the inevitable? Thank you so much...
