We've been telling Dad that from day one, SFO. We've told him we're here as long as he wants to fight but when he doesn't want to anymore, that's OK. He asked Mom yesterday "am I dying?" and Mom said "Yes, you are. We don't know when but it's OK" He'd been saying repeatdely earlier "it's just so hard". Mom told him he had to wait for myself and sister to arrive and she said his breathing suddenly slowed down and he became more at ease. Shortly, I'm going to pick up daughters and wife and drive down to see him. One day at a time!
I know this is such a hard time for you and yours. Take good care. Hug your dad, let him hold you.
All situations and families are different. In my family, one of the best things we did was bring my dad home for hospice. He was not in pain, he was happy to be home, we shared peaceful, loving, quality time, and the end was gentle.
Love each other well right now. That is what matters above all else. Hugs.
Oh Wii! Tears have sprung into my eyes on reading your posts. I do pray for a peaceful end ... your dad sure does deserve that. I also pray that you and your family will be comforted that your dad is going to a good place where there is no more suffering, and you'll all be together one day.
Your dad is such a hero ... so brave with all the pain he has suffered.
