My mom called yesterday and they are moving my dad to hospice. The doctors think it is time, and the cancer has gone too far.
Well, I don't know what else to say. I will be going to MO soon and I hope to find the strength needed for the days ahead.
I will be back to YM as soon as possible.

You and your family have my prayers. I don't know how religious you are, but in a friend's husband's last days, she put it beautifully: "Thank you all for your prayers, food, and love. Please no more visitors right now as John prepares for eternity with the God he loves so much."
It made me want to cry because it was completely without sadness but rather joy.

So sorry to hear the sad news. Hospice is a wonderful organization, at least in my experience with my two MILs in FL and my mother in NC. Safe travels.

So sorry to hear this, I'm going through the same thing with my beloved sister. The decision will be made tomorrow morning on weather she will be admitted to hospital or hospice.

Cancer is tough, especially near the end. I hope you find the strength you need and your Dad passes how he wants to.
