A key word that you will see:
Fragmentation: a mental process where a person becomes intensely emotionally focused on one aspect of themselves, such as “I am angry” or “no one loves me,” to the point where all thoughts, feelings and behavior demonstrate this emotional state, in which, the person does not or is unable to take into account the reality of their environment, others or themselves and their resources. This is a term that my therapist and I use and is on the continuum of dissociation.
The worst was confirmed today with my father-in-law. He was thought to have lung cancer with a mass on his right lung, lymph nodes and on one of the main bronchial airways. The day after my discharge for pneumonia, it was felt that it was inoperable, so he was discharged with oxygen and it was planned for comfort measures only.
Today, he had an appointment with his pulmonologist who confirmed the findings. He was told that he has about one week to six months. He is in good spirits and keeps saying that he is going to live one more year. With the oxygen, he is feeling pretty good. My husband is having a tough time as am I. This has been a tough year, so far. Thanks for the support.
