Sorry to hear your news. I lost my dad 4 years ago. All tha family were there at the time. It was harsh. Then my sister died suddenly in an accident 2 years later. The shock of this loss blew the remaing family members away for a while. It has been a tough couple of years, but thankfully, life is getting back to some semblance of normality now.
You still have time left, time to discuss things, mentally prepare for the inevitable as best you can. The sudden loss of a sibbling was much harder as there was no goodbyes, no preparation, just total shock.
I'd see if you can bring the wedding forward.
I wish you all the best.
Mick, that's just awful.
Bon courage dude.

Mick - i'm about 7 months further down the line. My dad has mesothelioma as well from the shipyards, was diagnosed last December. Strangely I am typing this lying in my bed at their house in Scotland as i have been coming back every few months to see him and just spend some time. I can't offer any advice other than its bluddy hard to see him declining and knowing there is nothing i can do about it. Hard. I bring my bike with me and ride a lot, sometimes in tears, just to get it out and let me enjoy the time i have left. Its sh1t, its life though. Best of luck and email in profile if you want any recent tales - treatment etc etc
