Father being sent to Veteran's Hospital

Help. My father of 25 years may have to go to get help in a Veterans Hospital for 2 months. I have been out of his home for 5 years and do not see him everyday but while my mom works I talk to him on the phone, he has really been through alot and the Vietnam War has caused him some mental pain and he was diagnosed with PTSD (POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER). My grandfather also lives with my mom and dad. And he is blind, they are taking care of him. I just need to know how I can cope if my dad may have to leave us for 2 months. I am really scared and nervous of what will happen. I think he needs the help but I am scared of what could happen to him or us while he is gone. I am so used to having him (a very stong wise individual) be the securer and make things all secure. Please any advice would help me cope, thank you! Please pray for my dad. ~i~
