This op come on. [/quote]

Are you realizing chastising OP for caring about her father’s emotional well-being? What an unkind, insensitive response.

Hospices provide counseling and emotional support for patients for a reason. You figure that once a person is terminal, their mental health is irrelevant? The life they have left has no meaning? I’m certain that OP’s father’s treatment team is focusing on pain management but there’s still quality of life to consider. And regardless, people can live with terminal cancer for quite a while.

OP, you can call Palliative Medicine Consultants to see if they can offer a referral, or at least guide you in the right direction. And Palliative Care itself might be beneficial - it’s not hospice, but focused on pain management and quality of life. I can’t imagine that they don’t have mental health resources.
