Allison Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I am sorry to report my dad passed away at 5:30am this morning, January 2nd. He was in inpatient hospice here in Connecticut since the day after Christmas, and I consider our family blessed to have had him home as long as we did. I also can not be more thankful for the support and comfort my Dad and the rest of the family received in hospice. I am truly grateful for all the time I was able to spend with my Dad this year, but also for the words of support, encouraging stories, and even the shared tragedies I found here. Cancer is the worst thing I have ever encountered, but it has also brought me to know some of the finest people. I wish all of you the best.

teresag Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 My sincerest condolences to you and your family, Allison. Your avatar shows how proud he was of his daughter, and what a special relationship you shared. I do hope your wonderful memories of your beloved father will comfort you now and in years to come. Many of us here have lost parents to lung cancer; I do hope you will stay and let others support you through your grief. Best wishes, Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I am so very sorry Allison. The pain right now is terrible I know. We are all here for you when you need a shoulder or just want to remember and cry. That is one thing I have learned about this board, no matter what kind of support you need you will find it here. Nothing in the grieving process is unacceptable. We have our own way to handle it but the people here are always ready with a hug and prayers. Stay with us and let us support you in your dark days.

Don Wood Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Allison, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Hospice is a great group. We used them for Lucie's mother in 1993, and mky sister-in-law used them for my brother in 1998. Please know that we are still here for you through the grief process and beyond.
