I'm so sorry you're going through this.. I lost my dad to cancer 5 years ago, and those final weeks were so utterly devatastinly hard.. I lost 28 lb in a month.
But what beardy says is right.. it does get easier.. but it will get harder before it gets easier. Grief is such a painful emotion, it really does feel so physical as well as mental.
I'm sure your boyfriend understnads how much pain you are in right now, but it could really help to explain it all to him. I know my boyfriend at the time (now my husband *s*) was such an incredible support, and I'd only known him 6 weeks when Dad actually died.. make sure you get plenty of hugs..
My heart goes out to you.. I do hope that.. well.. things are as pain free as possible for all of you.
