    Me: earlier this very day (this Wed), way before your recent post of 16 minutes ago, I thought about asking how you’re doing, and this very evening I get your message, which I can’t read in a focused way because, well (intoxicated). I will be back to you Thurs morning.

    Dear me:

    This is a difficult time for you and for your father. I hope that he is made to feel as comfortable as possible by the medical team that is treating him. I know that your relationship with him wasn’t easy, and this is a painful and challenging time for you. It’s okay to feel whatever it is that you are feeling. Grief can be really complicated. If you need to talk more, to express yourself, please do, anytime.

    I am thinking of you and hoping that you find some peace and comfort. You are a good, worthy person who cares for and  helps other people. You deserve peace of mind at this time, and at any other time.

    I can’t completly fall apart when he moves on, but for a little while I probably will. He wants me to move on past this he told me and live my life. So I must live it by getting into extremly good shape, make as much money as I can and experience life. They cancelled chemo because his cancer is beyond treatment.

    Dear me:

    “They cancelled chemo because his cancer is beyond treatment“- so, palliative care is what’s left: providing the patient with relief from symptoms/ making the patient feel more comfortable, and helping family members deal with the situation through counseling, respite care and more.

    It’ll be okay, for you to fall apart for a while.

    Like your father, I also would like you to move on with your life. You deserve a better life, a good life.

    Dear Me

    I am sorry that your father has terminal cancer ( I looked after my mother at home up to a few weeks before her passing from cancer) my relationship with her had been rocky in the past,  I managed to put aside our past hurts.  I was with her when she passed peacefully.

    My comment on this is not meant to be a critisim So I must live it by getting into extremly good shape, make as much money as I can and experience life.  Any statement using words like extremely can cause oneself a problem ie. if you dont meet the high standard of extremely fit how are you going to feel about yourself? Money does not necessarily equate to happiness ( how many rich & famous people have committed suicide or drank & drugged themselves to death). Would you be willing to compromise your health, friends and or ethics to get rich? What kinds life experiences are you looking for?

    I pray that your father has a peaceful & pain free passing and that you go on to have a happy & fulfilling life.

    Kind regards

    Roberta
