My Father Is Dying. Hi Emma, I moved over 300 miles away from my mother and was resented for years by her and my siblings In one study, males tended to delay talking about death and wanted "hard facts" rather than feelings.; Females lean toward "soft facts" but also find death talk challenging, even though they seek more information.

We are not the youngest or oldest to have these problems. Research suggests males are less likely than females to talk openly about their mortality and end-of-life wishes

We rushed to see her but she had died 10 minutes before we got there. He was in hospital for the last 6 weeks and on Monday a lovely doctor told us he only had days left. I don't know how to deal with these feelings and be strong for my dad.

. We rushed to see her but she had died 10 minutes before we got there. He'd had cancer for a long time but I still wasn't ready for this.
