FabSwingers.com forum: Feeling scared :-(

By (user no longer on site) OP

Sorry guys, bit of a downer post.. I have just got home from taking my dad to hospital and things are not looking great. In fact it terrifies me, that I might soon in the future have to say bye to my dad.

Not really sure why I’m writing this to be honest, but I haven’t got anyone here with me right now to talk to, apart from my dog

I could do with a big cuddle right now and a shoulder to cry into, someone to say it’ll be ok and I have your back. Being single really does suck.

Sometimes just knowing someone is listening is just what you need.

I can send my well wishes, tell you all will be ok, but I don't know in truth what the outcome will be.

What I can tell you is there ARE people here, and those that will listen. Those that will make time for you.

It's ok to be scared. It shows how much you love him. X

I was 36 when my Dad passed away.

He was terminally ill but that didn’t make it easier.

It’s tough losing a parent, especially at such a young age.

I was a fair bit younger than you when I lost my dad. All I can say is try not to hang onto every word that is said to you by the doctors. They don't always have the answers and even if they do, they often won't commit themselves.

It's tiring stressing and it's tiring soul searching. Be there for your dad when you can but live life as normal as possible when you're away from him. Above all rest, because he's going to need strength from you. As with any stressful situation, keep yourself in the now, it's the only segment of time that you have any control over. Try not to ponder over the ifs, whats and maybes, it's wasted effort.

All the best.

Sorry to hear that OP, it's never nice when a parent is sick. Sadly I was 34 when my mum passed and it was horrible. You're right, being single when stuff like that happens isn't nice. It's one of those times you need things like cuddle.

I made it thru and talking definitely helps. Doesn't matter where you get the support, even in a place like fab.

Hope for the best for your dad and try not to worry to much. Sendings you lots of virtual hugs xxxx

I lost my dad coming up on 3 years ago, he was only 58. When he got diagnosed with lung cancer it came as a massive shock and it hit me really hard, especially as when he was diagnosed he didn't seem ill at all and stayed like that until the last few weeks before he died 9 months later. It's a truly awful thing to go through OP, all you can do is be there for him as much as you can and be kind to yourself too.

I asked my dad a lot of questions about his life before he went, funny stories from getting in trouble as a kid, girls he dated before mum, what aspirations he had at that age, all sorts of things really, I found it comforting knowing his adventures and daft tales from his childhood and teens and still take comfort in it now.

Hey hun, I'm Sam. I got diagnosed with a terminal illness at 19, had a stroke at 25, was bling for 2 year.You know what the worst thing about all that was? How it made my family felt, its the worst. So, my completely unsubtle point is, If your dad has to leave us soon, let him d so with his daughters smile fresh in his memory, not her being sad

Firstly, big hours. I've a friend that has just been through a similar thing; she only had 9 weeks with her dad (from diagnosis ). She didn't really talk to anyone so it was very tough for her.

Good that you're talking about it, there's a whole support network out there - this can't be done alone.

It’s mad how many people who are strangers on the streets can offer support on a forum, especially in someone’s time of need when they are down!

I’m sure you have plenty of people with messages of support who you will turn to if you need to wether today or in the future, but feel free to send a message if you need a chat and see me online, it is hard losing a parent, I was 10 when I lost my dad to cancer and never really understood or remembered much about what was happening, all I will say is be thankful you have so many memories with him and take the time now if you’re able to to make more memories with him whilst you can.

Brave face for the kids but also try and find someone to get you out of the house or to come and sit with you while you’re going through the emotions from the news, make sure you’re not by yourself to make the situation that little bit easier on yourself.

It is a horrible time and a horrible scary situation to be in and unfortunately there is little you can do to change what will happen. I lost my dad 3yrs ago last June. If that is what is to happen, spend as much time with him as you can and make some memories. My dad was gravely ill but his final days were spent with family around him. I took in his favourite music and a small cd player and the smile on his face when he heard it is still a great comfort to me now. It is hard and you need to be braver than you know you can be. One last thought, if the worst happens don't bottle things up, it is ok to be upset and things can't begin to get better until you have been. My thoughts are with you x

So sorry to hear, I know my kids were really worried about me, especially the day I was rushed back to hospital, they couldn’t get hold of me or wife.

Can I ask what his diagnosis is?

I have cancer and am in recovery after intense radiotherapy, I don’t know if they got it, just keeping fingers crossed

You go and be by his side and show him that beautiful smile you have. Hold his hand every single moment you can and tell him how much you love him and what a wonderful father he has been. You can do this and you’ll forever cherish him. Xx

Nearly lost my father last year. Went through a full range of emotions while waiting to hear if he was going to pull through.

I had to hold the fort for a while as my family was abroad so I recognise how hard it is to do the “normal”

Luckily my family arrived as soon as they could. Try not to take the burden on alone and remember to look after yourself as well.

Just because you are single doesn't mean you can't talk to fiends. Friends don't have to be sex buddies....even on here.

We worry too much and tend not to reach out to friends when we need it most. Friends are often worried about interferring.

I lost both my parents within a week of each other several years ago. My mum died of a blood clot aged 70 and four days later my dad died in his sleep. I like to think that he just wanted to be with his wife my mum. They had a joint funeral. I was heartbroken. They gave me such a good life. They adopted me when I was 11 months old and loved me everyday.

My Daughter had a girl two years ago and she named her after my mum. I miss them both but smile and laugh at two very crazy but kind people.

I was 21 and pregnant with my youngest when my Dad died, I was heartbroken, lost. All through my pregnancy I just wanted my Dad, giving birth was bittersweet, Dad should of been there.

I lost my Mum two years ago, and damn, still feel lost and still not sure who I am. It's like my light went out.

I lost my mum 6 and a half years ago, I was so lucky to be at her side when she passed. I lost my dad suddenly 5 weeks ago and sadly never got to say goodbye. I was fortunate that I visited a few weeks earlier (he lived up in Scotland) and arranged a family lunch for my family and his siblings, he also got to meet his great granddaughter. I cherish those moments and even though I bawl when I look at the last photos taken of him, I will never ever forget those moments. Regardless of if you are going to lose your dad or not, never miss an opportunity to tell him he is loved and as another later said, ask about some memories/stories he has. It will make him happy sharing and you will have smiles remembering those precious stories. Sending positive vibes at a very difficult time. Don't feel you can't cry or smile.. there is no right or wrong in these situations

I just wanted to do a little update for you of you that have shared your heart breaking experiences, well wishes and advice. Thank you to all of you for being so kind and for the many pm’s I received. It really has helped me, in a way that I can’t begin to even explain.

Dad had a procedure yesterday to try and ease his problem, it didn’t go to plan initially and he ended up doing back to theatre again unfortunately. Dad is in a state today, very bad haematuria and has had a blood transfusion. Continues to be very confused, and in a lot of pain/discomfort. He’s being closely monitored and doped up for now, poor bugger has had enough
