Going to lose my Dad soon

Really sorry to hear about this. It makes me feel mad that your brother is concerned about possessions - if he is doing this in front of your dad, that really is ridiculous. I hope you speak out to your brother and tell him that he's wrong. You need to spend time with your dad - the number 1 priority. Take care.
 
Really sorry to hear this mate, your brother may be doing this as he has no idea how to deal with the situation, as heartless as it seems, he may be just keeping himself busy..
 
Very sorry to read that...but...I hate saying it...but you have some time to sort things and say a few goodbyes..thats a lot more than many people get.

Seems terrible they missed cancer to that extent.
 
I am very sorry to hear of your sad situation mate, I have been there and it isnt easy.
Keep you chin up and make your dads time as happy as you can, we'll be thinking of you.
 
Spend what time you can with your father. Maybe you should talk to your brother and tell him that he's being selfish, it might wake him up a little. The most important thing is to ensure your father is as comfortable as he can be, if he really cares more about your father's possesions than his well-being, then what kind of person is he?
 
There's not much else I can add than is already said. I hope that you can spend as much time with your dad as possible and I hope your bro does too. Is it just you 2 as descendants? Any more siblings that you can discuss your bro's selfishness with?
 
I can relate to this, my close grandfather is dying with a tumour behind is eye, lung and last week it spread to the bone. What upsets me worse is that he still has hope just before going for another load of radiation at 77yo. Just spend as much time as you can with him mate, talk about his past, treat him to what little luxuries he enjoys for a treat etc.

Tell your brother to sort himself out and have some respect, he's his father not a payment plan. You all have enough on your mind without having to sort a Will because of your selfish brother. I really couldn't imagine having to sort out your family as well as look after your father, keep it together pal!

I really feel for you mate, just hold in and cherish the time you have left with him.
 
sorry to hear your bad news. try and ignore the squabbles of others and spend as much quality time with your dad as possible as i'm sure you are.

my dad had a triple bypass a few weeks ago. made me realise he's getting old!! i'm putting a lot more into our relationship now, not that it was very bad before but... yeah

take care
 
I lost my mum to liver cancer last year and I know how you feel. She started to feel ill just before my wedding and once we came back from honeymoon I found she was so ill she could not walk. She was diagnosed with liver cancer and given 8 weeks. She died 8 weeks later.

Spend as much time with your dad as possible. You will be worrying about what you can do for him etc but all he needs is you. I'll be honest, with liver cancer... he will soon enter a coma stage as liver wont be able to filter the blood of toxins. Keep telling him you love him and talk about happy times together in the past.

If you need to talk just my email is in my trust.
 
Sorry to hear :( , I couldn't imagine what I'd do in your situation, I suppose the only thing you can do is make the most of your time together.
