Melissa. What a terrible ordeal. Yet life is precious and worth keeping. Your father is reacting in a strange way. He may be overwhelmed by your cancer when his wife also has had it or is having it. I have to assume that cancer makes many patients depressed. The suggestion of a support group is a good one. Are you on an antidepressant to help through this.
I'm sure people on this board are no strangers to the feeling of not wanting to go on. I wish you the best and I hope you find peace, a commodity that is difficult to find but which I haven't lost hope of attaining.
May God bless you.
