Have a sense of humour about difficult things at the same time that you allow your father the dignity of grieving the losses he will experience along the way. Acceptance is the key to getting through this.
Thank you.
I was going to suggest the same, but did not know how to word it properly. My father passed away in 2011 and I did not have time to do this. My mother is suffering from stage 4 lymphoma and I've learned my lesson, and spent two days just making peace and ensuring she is at peace.
I am very sorry, for what you are going through. It sucks.
