Not a day goes by that I do not think of my Mother and Father and the great gift of life and ethic they instilled in me. 19 years since my Father had to go, 2 1/2 for my Mother. I still call them, then remember they won't answer, but they will still hear. I also thought I was prepared. I was not.

I still miss them, but, in both cases, with Dad's stroke, and Mom's cancer, there was ageat deal of relief that the suffering was over, and they were with their folks, and those that ent before. I shall see all them again, as will you and your Dad. Be of faith, The pain will never entirely go away, but it will dull. You have a sturdy group of friends here, and we all care a great deal about you.

I don't know whether tis better for a loved one to go quickly, with things perhaps left unsaid, or over a span of time while surviving loved ones must watch the weakening of the body and the fading of the spirit, and the darkening of the light.<br />You tended your dad in his final days and gave him what comfort was possible -- there is something to be treasured about that. I am not a formally religious person, but Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 always comes to mind at these times.<br />So sorry for your & your family's loss.ColoCommentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-31432391162661228122019-08-11T16:51:28.126-06:002019-08-11T16:51:28.126-06:00Shaun,BTDT.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I took care of my parents' at home with the help of our local hospice. It is physically and emotionally so rough on the caregivers. Please do seek out a bereavement group, or counseling. Be gentle with yourself. Take time to grieve and heal. You gave your Dad the gift of dying in his own home, surrounded by memories and family.
