I just feel so sad at the moment, so I thought Id write it down as I cant really talk about it to anyone. My Dad is coming toward the end of his long battle with cancer. He is in a lot of pain so I know it will be a relief for him. I am trying to carry on as normal but just keep getting overwhelmed by sadness. It just comes over me when I am doing normal things, and I feel like curling into a ball and crying, but I cant. I have to keep going, as my 2 children obviously dont know Grandad will be gone soon. I have prepared them for it in some ways, so I can explain when he is gone, and they will have some understanding, but cant tell them outright, as they are 4 and 5. But I dont seem to have the time and space to cry, and also would feel a little self-indulgent if I attempt to make time. Anyway, I thought it might help if I put my feelings out there as it were.
