Fought hard and found peace

hey all, just wanted to let you all know that my dad did pass away 3 weeks ago. He fought really hard because he wasn’t ready to go but finally was able to find some peace before letting go.

Thank you all so much for your help along that way. This journey was so much shorter than I would have hoped but I’m thankful to have gotten the 1 year and 8 months that we did. I hope you all continue to do well and get better <3

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your dad has no more pain. May he rest in peace. The caring and watching your loved one decline or in pain is traumatic. It can take time to process that trauma with the grief of one's loss. May you find the strength and support to do that. Sending virtual hug to you. 🙏

I am so sorry for your loss. When things begin to change for the worse quickly, it is very difficult because you lose one of the most important things-time! Please know that being there for your Dad, fighting at his side, was a special gift to give him. It means so much ❤️‍🩹. Wishing peace to you and your family!

In solidarity,

How old was your dad?

I’m in the same boat now as your father regarding Bilateral nephrostomy tubes as the cancer had pressed on the ureter tubes not allowing a stent procedure. It is what it is. Your father now is no longer suffering and is experiencing a whole new life that is beyond anything we can comprehend. I’m not there yet but the writing is on the wall.

Peace

StayingSTRNG in reply to anonymoose2

My dad was 68 turning 69. Yes, very similar boat. His urologist capped his tubes without letting any of us know because he wanted to see if a stent was possible. Since they didn’t let us know, and didn’t give us instructions, my dad went into septic shock and his bladder was not able to empty. We were lucky he pulled through. That doctor never addressed it and walked out of the room when my dad tried to. So continue to advocate for yourself and I wish you the very best!

I'm sorry for your loss. And I'm sorry you had so little time post diagnosis with him, but I'm glad your dad found peace. As Cantchoose2 beautifully put it, I hope you find peace soon too. Our dads would not want us to live in sorrow and regret, they would want us to go out and live our life to the fullest. I wish nothing but the best for you.
