Thyme, I am very sorry for your family's loss of your FIL. I am glad that he is in hospice now, and know that he will be more comfortable with that type of care. Hugs.

Thyme I'm so sorry that your family is dealing with this. No matter how old we are, we are never ready to lose a parent.
I'm glad he made it through another Christmas (I'm hoping he was able to be with you). And I'm glad he's in hospice now. The people that work (and volunteer) there are truly angels on Earth.
I hope he passes quickly, and peacefully. And I'm glad that your DH chose to spend that time with him.

Sending love and prayers for all of you at this difficult time.
We decided to put my father on Hospice care on Friday, 12/20/13. On Saturday, 12/21/13 his IV was removed at 10am in the hospital and he was transferred back to the skilled nursing facility by noon. He dies a little before 11pm the night of Sunday, 12/22/13. He was not in pain and his passing was very peaceful. To me those were the most important things once his body was unable to heal itself anymore: that he go peacefully, painlessly and quickly - what more can any of us ask at the end of this live?
Yes, I miss him but I am not sorry he is not suffering.
Again, sending love, prayers and hugs for all of your family. |

It's terribly hard when someone you love is suffering and in pain and all you can do is stand by and comfort as best you can.

Sarah I didn't realize your dad had passed. I'm so sorry, and like Taz, I'm glad his end was peaceful. You were a great daughter to him.

Thyme I'm so sorry that your family is dealing with this. No matter how old we are, we are never ready to lose a parent. I'm glad he made it through another Christmas (I'm hoping he was able to be with you). And I'm glad he's in hospice now. The people that work (and volunteer) there are truly angels on Earth. I hope he passes quickly, and peacefully. And I'm glad that your DH chose to spend that time with him. He actually was able to come home for a few hours on Christmas. He ate all his favorite foods, and we opened gifts. He did pretty well, considering. After my MIL and the boys (my DH and his brothers) all went to take FIL back, he told them that he was going to go off dialysis, and said all the mushy stuff (but stopped short of "I love you" - I guess that isn't his thing.) As everyone was walking out the door he waved, smiled and said "It's been nice knowing you." Everyone came back laughing and crying about it. |
