keep posting, keep talking, lean on your friends, a problem shared is a problem halved, trust me it's comforting to know you are not alone.

I am so sorry to hear about your father, I struggle daily watching mine deteriorate and it kills me thinking my superman is aging and suddenly is weaker than I.

Just keep talking and taking the support from everyone and anyone you can.

Ian, I won't give you unwanted sympathy but I will give you my willing ear at any time. Any time at all.

:yh_hugs Ian :yh_hugs

I saw the title and I'm there with you...I understand how you are feeling...not dealing with an ill Father though, my heart goes out to you :yh_hugs:yh_hugs

Six, a wee bit of advise, knock off the insignificant bits of worry from your life, trust me this will be a bit of relief. An example, ok if you don't get the car washed for 6 weeks drop the stressing over it, or if you can't make it to a friends house for a dinner, that is ok to, drop it completely from your mind. You have a plate full mate, scrape off some of the things that can be put on hold.

We as humans can only take on so much and gosh you have a load.

Thank you for the kind words as well.

HI Ian

I dont really know you but i have a shoulder anytime you want to off load:)

Take it handy Ian and just keep your head above water. I lost my dad when I was 20, it was a terrible blow at the time, but I survived it somehow, all the best. And allow youself some time to feel weird or even breakdown a bit, its normal in these situations.

What a wonderful piece of advice Minks. This is the only way I have survived those feelings of 'I can no longer cope'. Everything seems to hit you at once, and things that you would previously of dealt with, become unmanageable and hopeless.

Wishing you great strength at this time Six (you do have it, just need to find it again) :-4 :-4

Sorry to hear this, here for you anytime you need a shoulder bud :-6

always here to listen and talk, anytime you need to let go just go ahead.

sometimes it helps to talk and reel off what is on your mind.

strength to you :-4

We're all here for you Six, take it easy on yourself and keep talking to us, it helps. :-4 and :yh_hugs

Hi Ian,

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's illness. Life is so difficult, isn't it! I still cry when I think of my Mom and Dad. I still miss them so much.

You know we're all hear for you to just listen.

Let us know how you're doing. All of our thoughts are with you.

Take care now and be good to yourself,

Kathy

Ian. Im your friend. Always have been. If you need to unload on me, unload.

all the best.. and thank you guys

nomad I've never doubted it.. and thanks


Losing parents is one of the hardest things, IMO, any of us go through. I had to watch mine wither away slowly, my mother with cancer when I was 15 and my dad with heart disease when I was 22. Nothing before or since affected me as dramatically. Anger is a natural part of the grieving process. You have to go through it, but the trick is (and this is what I had to do) to channel it into healthy outlets. Examples: yoga, meditation, a hobby, take a drive, punch a darn punching bag- anything really so long as you don't hold it in. Doing just what you're doing - talking with others - is one of the most helpful means there is. Another thing that helped me, and still does, tremendously was keeping a journal. That was my own personal sounding board, where I could vent out everything without thought to consequence or recrimination. It was something tangible to let all that frustration out.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. I'll keep you in my thoughts, and pray your father is as comfortable as is possible.

Ian, I wish I had words of wisdom to offer you, I may not have that but I have a large shoulder for you to lean on and ears that are always willing to listen.

My Mum is having chemo at the moment and the prognosis isn't looking very good. I totally understand you feeling that you have no more strength, but try to allow people to help you talk about how your feeling, although some things can't be changed, it is nice to know you have friends around you.

My thoughts are with your family :-4

sorry you are having such a hard time buddy, i do know exactly how you feel,life for some of us is so very hard so very very unfair



this is the way it is for us though buddy there is no great referee in the sky with a whistle to blow and say hold on that is not right this person has suffered enough i'm not going to let him/her take any more crap they are up to their necks in it allready



if so i would of heard the whistle a long time ago ,deaths trauma ,freak things going on its tough





and the crap keeps coming my friend my crap went past my neck and over my head long ago its so deep now now its probably several feet over my head but hey what am i gona do give up ....never ..ever ...ever give up ..ever ,i found out this week my suzy cant have an op ,she just have to live with her pain till well pretty much she wont be mobile any more and the mental health team have told me this week my daughters mental health is so bad that i have to give up what little work i could do any way and look after her full time well thats us screwed ... me and my girl will be on the poverty line for ever now and i will have to look after her till my dying day or till i'm till to old to care for her anymore then she will probably have to go back into a mental care place





well thats it in a nutshell buddy ...life sucks for some of us ..its not fair its not just and its not right but thats the way fate deals its cruel hand ..



i for one am sick of it the constant gritting my teeth .the picking myself off the floor only to have fate kick me in the nuts ,trip me over and when i'm laying on the floor helpless tip ten more gallons of crap over me



but hey thats the way it is for me ...that is my life ...the good thing for me and my loved ones that depend on me is i am the most stubborn moron in the world and i will not take a backwards step and i will never give up ever



welcome to my breakdown buddy maybe we can go crazy together :wah:

Hope your well Butters :-6

I am hunni, not been around much myself with one thing & another. See you applied for college, well done :-4

Hey I've just realised his posts say n/a, which may mean that he asked to leave??

Six, when I get overwhelmed, oh , say when Im scared to death I will be homeless and lose my son, I take second, by second, eventually you work up to minute by minute, hour by hour ect. Do what you need to do.
