It sounds like your father did very well handling the treatments. Losing a parent is never easy. I do understand what you are going thru, I lost both of my parents many years ago. Try to think about happier times and let those memories help you to remember your father before he was sick. Take time to grieve and try to remember to be good to yourself.
