Are there any other adults who are only children dealing with a parent diagnosed with cancer?

My Dad had throat cancer after smoking his entire lifetime. I did my best to support him mostly just by being there. After the surgery,he was unable to eat normally because of the trach. He also was pretty much unable to speak. I suctioned out the trach every 2 hours. I coordinated his meds. He was always there when I needed him. I was there for him when he needed me. We always had that understanding. I was grateful that I could be there helping him whenever he needed me. I’m also grateful that the last words he heard from me was telling him how much I loved him. You see that’s the thing. Love will get you through those times that are rough. All you have to do is remember those times as a child when you were sick & your Mother was there for you. Being there for your Mother is the best thing you can do for her & yourself. Loving her is what she would want from you. Loving someone in a really tough time isn’t easy. But you know the saying, Love will get you through anything. After my Dad died, I knew that I had done my best for him. There is something called caregiver burnout. That can happen & make you feel awful. But you can’t blame yourself because you get tired. You are human. Just remember the love. It also helps if you have someone that you can blow off steam with. The best advice I could give you is to remember the love. I will add your Mother to my prayers. Good Luck & Blessings
