Hello BLF friends

Dad passed away yesterday morning, early hours..

I had phoned during the night to inquire how he was doing. I fell asleep around 3.30 am and at 6 the hospital rang to say could we come Dad had taken a turn for the worst.

Bea got the car out and we went up in 20mns. I was silly because he said we wait for you, I thought how can he? I didn’t understand Dad was on a ventilator.

So we said our goodbyes, I phoned my brothers so they could say theirs, thanks to modern technology, they spoke to his ear, hopefully he could hear them somewhere...

So they disconnected him and we held him as his heart disappeared off the screen.

They don’t give you much time to recover..then started the paperwork, Bea took over I just had to sign things..We had to go to the care home and decided to clear his things then it was done.

I said let’s go to a café for lunch so we could go home and phone family and friends for Thursday. At 4pm we had the funeral parlour to finalise things. A long day.

I took a photo of Dad at peace after he was washed, selfishly I hope it will help me forget the images of the previous day. It wasn’t humane.

As I said to my brothers it was between medical incompetence and wanting to fight the invincible.

During the day I got angry a few times, Bea said I think my Mum is going through the five phases of grieving in one day!

Thank you for your support during those tough days. 💕

Fran

I’m so sad for you Fran. It’s a horrible thing to lose a parent, no matter what age. I hope soon the upset of recent weeks will fade and be replaced by happy memories. I’m so glad you have your lovely Bea by your side x

in reply to

Thank you Hanne, yes Bea is wonderful, coming to the hospital with me the last 3 days despite the neuralgia left over from her shingles, plus the shock of losing her grandfather and witnessing his death. Honestly we are just going to rest for the next two days, open our Christmas presents, eat and watch tv before everyone arrives next week for the funeral on Thursday.

Thanks again xx

Hi Fran, I was at my Dads bedside when the machines were turned off after he never regained consciousness after emergency surgery, a few years back.

Being my Dad, he hung on for hours, or rather his body did, as he was not there, only his body. Then the moment I went outside to get some air he died! Typical!

My thoughts are with you and your Dad, I hope when my time comes I am as cared for and loved as your Dad has been by you.

I remember talking to a lovely little very old lady a few years ago about life etc.

She said; ‘we all come and go, dear. My Dad came and went and I will go soon too.’ In a very pragmatic way. Sometimes I have an existential moment of clarity that one day I will draw my last breath and move on to whatever comes next.

I think there cannot be much more sad a thought than dying alone uncared for.

Your Dad was loved and had you there right until he passed and that is such a kind, caring and hard thing to do.

I hope you get lots of help and support at this time and can grieve.

I read a poem by Dylan Thomas ‘Do not go gently into the night’ at my Dad’s funeral. Dylan Thomas wrote it for his own father as his father was dying.

It is very moving, and is Dylan Thomas asking, pleading with his Dad not to die; ‘rage against the dying of the light.’

But there comes a point when it is time to stop fighting and to move on I think.

My thoughts are with you, God bless you

Phil x

in reply to Phil40

Oh dear Phil..how hard..it was fast for Dad, he was breathing, mouth open and I saw the stats going down from 43 onwards..the doctor had switched the sound of..

I know that poem..so touching..

We are going to do little speeches and a book for people to write messages, stick photos in..

I had to think about the music in between..I know he liked Oistrakh playing Rachmaninov, he loved the violin, then Leonard Cohen, Susanne, my brother said Joan Baez, Bea said Mum and him were singing an Italian song last time she came, I have to ask her..

Thank you for sharing xx

Phil40 in reply to

The missing his final moments was not that bad really, but just about summed up my Dad. He was a miserable and arrogant man I am afraid.

At his service I was asked to write something as my brother was useless then as well.

Anyway, I stood up to begin and looked around at the family and ‘friends ‘ attending.

I looked from face to face and thought about how he had nothing good to say about anyone there! For example, a man for whom he was the best man for back during National Service was there. I remembered one day being at Dads house and he told me that this annoying man he knew may knock as he did when passing and if he did we were not going to open the door and pretend we were not there!!!!

He did not speak to my brother in law, a lovely man, for the last 6 months because he blamed him for something the doctor said!!

Of course I still loved him and it was painful but it could have been worse. That sounds awful I know. He wasn’t a good father.

Your Dad was a great man from what I have read and I will bet you won’t have a eulogy issue, except maybe the length.

‘Ask not for whom the bell tolls...’ I believe in the sentiment there. We have lost a positive bit of humanity as a whole by the passing of your Dad. I will bet his legacy will be great in the lives of everyone he knew and helped and in his wonderful daughter.

So sorry, Fran, what a very difficult time for you and Bea. 💐💐💐 I’m afraid I did wonder when we weren’t hearing from you. May your Dad rest in peace now, in your mind as well as in reality. As many have said, you could have done no more to help him and I know you’ll have been a great comfort him in his life as well as his final illness. But Fran, he was an elderly man, struggling a great deal with his health, from what you told us. ‘To every thing there is a season....’ In the situation he was in, he may well have come to the end of his happy times on earth. Soon you’ll shed the memories of him in illness, and your mind will be flooded with memories of all his strengths in former days and of the happier times you shared. Those are the ones you need never to forget, and carry through life with you. I think as you inevitably reflect on the whole picture of your Dad as a person, you will identify those strengths and take a small part of them on yourself, as his daughter and inheritor of his life. I don’t know where all these words are coming from, but they’re are reflections on what happened to me, I suppose, as I felt worn out and marooned after my own strong father’s death. We’re shedding some tears with you, you painted such a vivid picture of the situation you were in, as you always do.

I hope the arrangements for his passing go smoothly for you, for Bea, and for your brothers, even though they left all responsibilities to you alone. My brother, who is generally kind, could not step up when my sister died. I was annoyed and disappointed at the time, but as time passed he explained that he just couldn’t come to terms with her death or approach it in any way. He knew she was not alone and that I would be looking after her to the best of my ability. When his own wife died, weeks later in a riding accident, very unfortunately, he felt it was retribution for not facing his sister’s death and supporting her directly. He was in a terrible state mentally for some time. So just try to accept that your brothers did what they were capable of, even though it was paltry by your own standards. Don’t trouble yourself with new battles.

Sorry to ramble but just hoping there’s a bit of help in there somewhere.....I know you’re a very reflective person too. Concentrate on some rest for yourself now, and on having gentle, comforting Christmas times with Bea 🎄🎄🎄

Love to you, Fran, we’ll all here always be here for you 😍😍😍😍😍 🌺🌹💐🌻🌼🌸🍁 xxxx

in reply to Yatzy

Hi Penny

Thank you for the time you took to comfort me..🌺

The anger for my brothers is gone, it went when I put them on the phone, told them to say their goodbyes and heard them cry..Dad didn’t hear anything at that stage but at least they were alleviated a little of the guilt they had already started to live with..

Who am I to judge anyway..🦋

I soon realised I had to let go of my anger towards the fact I felt let down because it would just feed resentment and eat me alive. I don’t need that. I have to live with them now..🌻

One said he had to give up his holidays in Vietnam with his daughters, my heart said big deal, my mouth said death comes knocking at our door when we don’t expect it..

The other blamed the doctor who had originally told him over the phone Dad wasn’t critical, my heart said you were not listening my mouth said unfortunately we expect medicine to perform miracles..

So that’s that. They are all coming from wherever they are with their children and it will be a great day for Dad, they wanted a strict family do and I said no, open door..they will be amazed at the people there as I am by the heartfelt messages from the newsagent where he bought his paper to the hairdresser’s, the care assistant who brought his food tray. All those people who have hugged me, told me of all the conversations they had with Dad and how sorry they felt. You live and learn..

I just hope I will have enough canapés, petits fours and prosecco 😃

So I am actually looking forward to it because death also brings people together, some cousins are coming from Lancaster, they have to fly through Leeds airport because it was so difficult to find a flight, I hope the weather will be clement..others are taking the train from Paris..it will be a great get together for Dad and it will irradiate warmth and love to all.

The images and the sorrow will take time, and it is only normal to feel I say to myself, it is a process that can’t be rushed , which is why I am sitting up at 2 am writing to you with yet another cup of herbal tea 😃

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to think and write Penny, it certainly helps. Thank you for the advice. Bea and I are looking forward to a quiet Christmas before the big rush as everyone arrives on the 27th for the funeral on the 28th.

Lots of love 💖

Fran

Thanks, Fran. It’s good to know you are coping so well, as always. Your usual strong and optimistic self has come to the fore....what else would we expect! It sounds as though you’ve weighed things up very accurately and intuitively from all perspectives. I hope you and Bea now settle to a relaxing Christmas, and the day of the funeral becomes a day of celebration of your Dad’s life, with the warmth of family and friends around you.

Lots of love, and a safe journey to all the travellers, Penny. Big hug to a super daughter, salute to a super Dad 😘 🎄💐 xx

Very sorry for your loss, I lost my dad rather suddenly just before Christmas a few years back. It's horrendous at any time but somehow makes it's that bit more difficult at Christmas, prob as everyone is jolly and I was just going round in a trance I think.

Sorry xx

Bea is a fine daughter and very wise,i think grieving has many more phases,like our dodgy lung diseases,than fine philosophers and psychiatrists should try to quantify and you will find you own way to mourn dad's passing and celebrate his life,when that path gets tiresome or lonely you know that you have an abundance of friends on here to lighten your load.

Sorry to log on here and read this news Fran. I know it's not what you wanted but you were adamant that you didn't want him to suffer for a prolonged time and that didn't happen.

I'm so glad you were there with your dad when he died and that you have the comfort of knowing he was not alone or with anonymous medics.

I don't think there's anyone on HU who's not in admiration of your devotion to your parents. You did absolutely everything you could do for your dad and he knew he could rely on his darling daughter to love him and look out for him.

This will be a comfort to you as you come to terms with his loss in the weeks and months to come.

Sending you lots of love and virtual hugs.

in reply to Billiejean_2

Thank you BJ you found the right words, it was not what I wanted, I didn’t want him to suffer..I am going to have to learn to live with that...that there are things beyond our control..

Bea said yesterday when I went in the side room to talk to the doctors he said to her is this it now? Can we go home? And it was the hardest thing to leave him there. She said we should have stayed longer..I said Bea we didn’t know, doctors said they were trying this treatment till midnight and in fact when I phoned at 1am she said it was starting to work..plus it wasn’t our decision to make, they wanted to get on..

Anyway there are no easy answers..

Thanks BJ xx
