(20,987 posts)It's not about believing or non-believing, it's about being human. We're here for each other, we are a community.
Your Dad sounds like a strong and vibrant person who's lived through some formidable challenges. I'll join you in hoping that he surmounts this one, too.
If I can offer any helpful suggestion, it's this: Although you may be far away and *feel* as though you can't help your father, you can look around and see who else in your family needs a loving phone call, a card letting them know they're in your thoughts, a hug if they're near, a sharing of some words of hope like the ones you've shared here about your father's strength and life.
Doing a little of that each day can be helpful in coping with your own anxiety and sorrow.
Keep us updated, okay?
warmly,
Bright
