Emotional issues

Not the easiest week having to deal with different emotional issues.

It’s heart breaking seeing pa’s health deteriorating by the days. Just when you think nothing can get any worst, the doc told us that his cancer is in advance stage, probably only 3 mths. Radiation and chemo will only help to prolong to maybe a year.

In the past months, many docs have been telling us the same thing, but each time the pain is still new and fresh. It’s like a stab into the wound each time the doc tell us something like this. We’re all still bearing hope that he’ll be ok soon, to at least enjoy some time with us. We’re constantly telling ourselves to be strong for him and guess we’re doing pretty well in staying positive so far. But I think no matter how strong a person is, hearing that his days are numbered is very disheartening. Probably no amount of words can describe how bad he must have felt. Pa is one of the strongest (mentality) and most positive men, I think for his age. His will to learn and motivation is amazing…. Yet 2 days ago, he suddenly crumpled into the mercy of the cancer. It’s so sad seeing him so frail, hardly able to talk and walk now. So painful seeing him like this… …
The only thing that I kept telling myself constantly is I have to be there for him, to pull him up again. I know I can do it.
