Sonia Owen Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 My Prayers are with Grace and their girls. Maybe the stars in the sky are openings where loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy,safe and in no pain. I don't know how much time we will all have left with our Dad. He can't get out of bed now,gets out of breath just sitting on the edge. Not eating very much, so are giving him special drinkable foods from our Doctor. The Doctor said he could arrange for time to be spent in our local hospice, but Dad got quite upset and said he didnot want to go. So the Doctor said they would do all they can to see he is comfortable at home. It's horrible to watch him so helpless, it makes you wonder how long your spirit and body can take this. I feel so mean thinking things like I don't want him to go on like this,wasting away. I can't help thinking what must be going through his mind. He said to Mum two days ago, I think I am dying, she said don't be silly. Maybe people know, as his mind is still sharp. Thankyou for letting me put my feelings down on this mail, as it sort of takes it out of my head when I have written it down.

3boys4amy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I know exactly how you feel, as my dad is going through the same thing. He probably won't accept hospice either, like your dad. They are discussing it tomorrow. It makes it seem so final, I think, when hospice is called. I am praying for you and your family in this very rough time.

kamataca Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I wish i could say something wise for the two of you, and I struggle as I type. The best I can do is tell you that I'm praying for you for strength and peace. This part is just so @#%! hard. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasbabygirl Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 In the book Final Gifts (which I highly recommend for both of you), it says that people do know when they are going to die. The book helped me help my mom tremendously. I am sure you could find it at the Library or any bookstore. So sorry for what you are both going through.
