Hello all!
I need some of your thoughts and input on this. My father passed away on New Year's Eve after many years of fighting cancer. No matter what it seems- you're never prepared for it.
I have put off surgery many times due to the long recovery and I'm just plain scared. Also life events- daughter's grad., wedding, father's illness, etc. I promised my dad I would go through with it this time, regardless of his death.
Now, everything seems overwhelming. I do have strong family support, however.
Another thing is that we placed my mother in assisted living. She suffers from some type of dementia. I live a hour and a half drive from her so I won't be able to keep up the personal contact. My very responsible daughter lives close to her grandmother, but it's a lot to put on a 23 year old.
I am just worried that depression might really hit me hard after the surgery.
Any thoughts? Any experiences, advice would be appreciated. His memorial service is today. I know I won't make it through that without any tears.
Sorry, this is so lengthy.
