Goodnight

I’m laid here in the darkness unable to sleep.

Dad died this evening.

His liver and his kidneys just couldn’t cope anymore.

Me, my brothers and my mum were all with him as he passed.

I am utterly broken.

You wrote this in a previous post:

“I love sitting beside him, chatting and then holding his hand while he snoozes.”

I hope you can fully understand how much this meant to your dear father. Many people face death alone, frightened and lonely as they deteriorate. But you were there. I can still remember holding the hand of both my mother and my father as they lay dying. Trust that you gave him the greatest gift possible… Your presence and your love. He was never alone. I realize that right now all you feel is pain and that no words anyone offers can really change that for you. But keep these replies from people because in a couple of months you will start to draw comfort from them. Hard days lie ahead. But you held your father’s hand. He knew he was loved by you and that is really all that matters. 😥❤️😥

This is such a well written post and echoes everything I would say, but since I can't say it any better, I will not try to improve on it.

I would just say I am very sorry to hear this and shocked also, so can only imagine what a terrible time this must be for your family. Keep each other close, as you have done so far and I hope that you at least get some explanation soon. All the very best to you all.⚘⚘

Beautifully written MaryLynn. Theres nothing I can even say that hasnt been captured here in this messege.

All I can say is that I am sorry for your loss. It happened so suddenly and without answers. My heartfelt thoughts go out to you in these moments. May his memory once soon again show you his light still shines even in the darkest hours of your sorrows.

Please know you can come here anytime, we have all in some way or another suffered loss and you will always have a place here , comfort and listening ears.

May love be what you remember most. 🌹

I am so, so sorry for your loss. It is all the more tragic having come so suddenly and without an explained reason. I hope medics are going to be able to answer the 'Why?' for you all to at least explain all this.

My thoughts are very much with you all.

Yes finding the reason this happened will help a lot not having any answers causes so much distress and anxiety it just adds to the pain of the loss in a way its the only way acceptance of this cruel sudden terrible thing happened .

We are so very saddened by this news.

It is a great shock for you all.

Please know that your ‘being there’ would have brought great comfort. It is heartwarming that you all wanted to be there for him, and that it was made possible. Even with the best will intended it is not always the case.

It is important that you now all draw together and give each other comfort and practical support.

The time for questions will come, but you have many practical things to consider in the days ahead, so in the meantime perhaps you should just concentrate on being kind to yourselves. You will get through this.

No words will comfort you or your loving family at this time, I can still recall that feeling of numbness when My Dad was taken from us ,I was 25 The ups and downs of these past few weeks for you all trying to ensure your poor Dad got the help he needed. Before this he sounded like a very fit and active person, all the running he did was pretty amazing for anyone, let alone at 74. With this in mind perhaps you can eventually find comfort in the fact that his suffering is over. I know you wanted him to be here no matter what.This could have meant he had years of suffering ahead of him . With him being so active and full of life it could have devastated and destroyed him emotionally. Eventually all your happy memories will replace some of the deep sorrow, until then i hope you will all find a way through this, being there for each other. Love Hazelx

I am so very sad to read this...…If you need to call the helpline I am working today. Take care...

I'm truly sorry to hear this news, I know at this time words will not give you great comfort, but remembering you did all you could for your dear father, you advocated for him, found this forum and tried to find answers. You were there for him, and with him at the end. Please take comfort in these facts, you could have done no more. As someone else mentioned hopefully in the future the images of his suffering will be replaced by happy memories of your wonderful, fit, active and happy dad, and it will be these images that will stay with you and all your family.

My thoughts are with you.
