Our emotional: Health impacts on our physical health. I am sorry you are struggling with both your fsther's death and your mother's illness at such a young age. It is important that you take care of yourself, too. Consider joining a support group for family members who have lost a loved one to cancer and/ or a group for those helping a family member on dialysis. The hospital social worker may have suggestions.
