My dad passed away on 30/9/24. It was a painful 3 months for him from Prostate Cancer and recently diagnosed Late stage
Dementia. I stayed with him every day for that time. I had to deal with this on my own due to family issues. I feel angry, guilty, sad, exhausted and can’t get past all that I saw and heard. I can’t sleep, I cry a lot and I don’t know what to do

Hi @Cornish61
It is traumatic caring for a loved one when they’re dieing, it’s true to say there are things you can’t un-see, my mom passed in 2021 from brain tumours, cancer sux, but there are organisations like Dorothy House & Macmillan who can provide support, & counselling. I remember in the early stages of grief, being on autopilot, it does take a while for the shock to sink in, but your not alone, we’re all going through it in our own way. This is your grief journey, so you do what works for you, message on here as much as you need, there are always people here to talk to. Sending hugs of support.
