My Dad died and I'm despairing
My Dad died 48 hours ago after five weeks in hospital. Cancer. But it was more traumatic because we thought he was early stage and it turned out he was end stage, so we were working towards getting him discharged, and instead he went downhill fast just as we thought we were close to this goal. That was so hard. It's like…

Family trouble
