Re: My Dad
There is nothing anyone can say that will ease your fears. For they are based in reality your Dad is getting older and thankfully now they have found he had something they can control. But the fear is real.
As above remember pneumonia it is called apparently "old mans friend" and have to say in my Dad's case it was; he would not of wanted to linger he passed away in 2015 and I miss him ever hour of every day.
My Mom passed away with old age and fragility in February this year after simply taking to her bed water infections were a bane of our lives, but again she passed peacefully at home. I think at that moment my heart hardened.
We all miss them nothing seems the same because nothing ever will be, but you do you best.
Mom's younger sister who had learning disabilities and similar to downs died on Thursday 25.4.19 and again peacefully in hospital following a massive stroke. I actually hoped she would go peacefully as the seizures following the stroke and after effects were horrific to witness, and taking there toll on her every moment of the day.
So the grief ebbs and flows catching me unawares as I plan the funeral. And realise my heart was not as hard as I thought
My message to you is say everything you want to say and hug him every time.
