TW for family diseases: Should I talk to my family about this? - March 31st 2021, 08:47 PM

I just saw a report my parents were hiding which shows my dad has heart issues. I googled the meaning of it and it sounds serious, I know Google tends to exaggerate things but the heart is so delicate. My grandpa (My dad's dad) also has heart issues and my grandma too, but my dad is young he is like 45. Google says his condition makes people survive at most 10 years. If I talk to them about this I am pretty sure I will cry so I am not sure if I should talk to them since they obviously don't want me to know. Additionally I think it will make my dad feel worse if he sees me crying over this. On the other hand if I do not talk to them about it I think talking to my dad or seeing him will make me cry too. Should I keep quiet or not? I am just not ready for my dad to die, he has worked so hard. He came from a Latin American country in which he was poor and has been working as a construction worker and electrician all his life. He always wanted to go to Egypt and he has not been able to do it. I am just shocked finding this out, the report is from today by the way so it is recent.
