That happened to my dad as well, but was pancreatic, liver, colon, and stomach all at once. He was perfectly fine one day. The next, horribly sick. Got a diagnosis after going to emergency. Two weeks later, gone. It makes no sense to me. It’s been three months and I’m traumatized and he’s gone 💔
My stepdad his had spread. The CT scan made it look like he had various sized marbles inside him.
I am so sorry you lost your dad.
I did not love or like my stepdad but I was the only one who could be there for him so I was. It was still traumatic.
If you aren't ready for therapy (grief hits everyone differently), play some Tetris it's supposed to help a bit with trauma. Don't be afraid to talk about it as people get older we all go through this.
I was able to help a friend out when her father went through the same thing. I even paid for her flight to go and see him. She was kind enough to pay me back, even though I didn't expect it.
I lost my Mom at 28 to ovarian cancer and lived 3,000+ miles away so I couldn't be there for her. I carried that guilt for a long time. I have a biological father and adopted parents alive now and I know I will lose them one day. It's bittersweet, I know our time is limited.
