As somebody that just recently went through this, you must cherish the time you have with your dad, but please don't let him become a mental victim to his disease. My dad passed away 2 weeks ago. If he gives up the battle in his mind, then his body has already lost. My dad gave up on nearly everything when he got the news. That was around the time when I started taking initiative with my own personal health and well-being. I tried so hard to get my dad to adopt better and healthier habits as I went through my own journey, but he never listened and became too reliant on his medication and treatments. We researched things like ketogenic diets, CBD oils, all sorts of immunotherapy research. But he was adamant and complacent that he was fine. He had a fall a few months ago because he was stubborn and thought he was fine enough to go for a walk on his own without help or company, and his internal hemorrhaging basically super-sped the degeneration process. He became a literal vegetable, incapable of doing anything apart from basic life functions. And I hated seeing him that way. I'm so glad he's not suffering anymore, but at the same time it's also hard not having him around to eat with, listen to music with, laugh, joke, cry and get angry with.

Give him every ounce of motivation that he needs to try and beat the disease. Doesn't matter if it's a pep talk, a pat on the back, a change in diet, a workout routine, some meditation, CBD therapy. Do something.

@Xenozoa425 May I and what disease did your dad have and how long he has suffered?

Yeah this sounds a lot like my dad. I try to spend time with him when I get home and from the weekends. He sleeps most of the day. It's hard to get him out of bed for anything else outside of basic functions and walking. I've tried everything. I wish I could go back and do something earlier or get him diagnosed earlier, but I can't of course..

Thanks man
