Dealing with Cancer?

[krluv2trvl]

My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma a year ago - well, the doctors aren't exactly sure it is or not. But, ever since this happened he has been a little depressed and angry. He'll say things like, "well, why even bother, I'll be gone soon anyways." The family has been really supportive and positive, but he has always seen the glass as half empty. The comments he says, and the way he acts has been really hard. I know he must be really scared and angry with what has happened, but it's hard on all of us. How do I help him realize that life is still good? He's still breathing and the sun is out, he can still walk. To take each day at a time and enjoy all the wonderful things in his life. Instead of living life, I feel like he's just waiting for it to end. I could be gone tomorrow - no one knows when their time might be. I just don't know how to make him see. Has anyone else gone through this? Thanks.
