My dad finished chemo September last year and since then his mental health has been in decline resulting in a crisis during december. Where he spent Christmas day in a&e speaking to a psychiatric nurse and being reffered to the crisis team. He admitted he had planned suicide but didn't go through with it as he thought he would mess it up like everything else. He has lost lots of weight, all interest in life, really a shadow of himself. He says things that indicate to me he thinks this is it and its just so hard seeing him like this. He's given up driving, going to the pub to watch football, reading books and even the paper. He has to be encouraged to leave the house just to get milk or go to the chemist. I don't know how to help him out of this dark place. I live with my parents and it is wearing my mum down too who has her own health issues and I am trying my best to be suportive to them both but at the monent it feels like there is such a weight in the flat (if that makes sense) and i get a little feeling of dread going hone from work. I just wish I could help them more and my dad could enjoy what time he has left. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
