RIP Dad

[ZoeSweet7]

My Dad took his last breath around 9.19pm. What an absolute rollercoaster of suffering and decline this has been for him. There was absolutely no let up for him and we had only got a CPap machine for him yesterday. He didn’t even get a chance to suppress any of the symptoms. 😭😭😭😭

So sorry Zoe. At least he is now at peace, no more suffering. My dad is currently at the hospice and declining rapidly. I truly hate this condition.

Sending all my love to you and your family. Your dad was really lucky to have such a devoted daughter.

So sorry to read about this. You really have been on a rapid and rough journey and you have obviously been doing everything in your power to get your Dad the help he needed.

You are going to miss him so much, but it sounds as if his MSA symptoms were such that his life wasn’t really enjoyable. Grieve his loss, and remember the man you loved before these troubles.

Zoe my heart hurts for you. Knowing he is no longer suffering is a comfort but losing your dad is so hard on you. God Bless 🙏

So very sad to hear this Zoe 😭 your father is at rest it’s the most horrific disease ever.

Please look after yourself and your family. I’m 10 weeks ahead of you it’s difficult but you will be ok.

Try and take comfort that he’s no longer suffering.

Please god they find a cure so that others don’t have to go through this.

Sending you a hug x

I'm so sorry to hear this, your love for him has shone through your posts. It's truly an awful disease. My mum is also in final stages after a re-diagnosis last August, she's had a rapid decline in the last week or so and is now not eating and just fading, we just hope we can keep her comfortable and calm with the help of a nursing home and hospice. It's so hard watching this happen to someone you love - make sure you look after yourself, you've been through a lot.

So sorry for your loss, it is such a horrible condition and heart breaking to watch those you love the most suffer every day. I know how painful it is as I lost my mum to this only 3 weeks ago. Try to take comfort in the fact that your dad is now at peace and no longer suffering. Thinking of you xx

Type 2 respiratory failure for the ultimate cause of Death for Dad. I will never forget seeing him at the hospital when they managed to get the co2 out of his system and he breathed on his own (they thought they’d got him stable). I went into see him, he was red in the face, sat up, but staring into space completely out of it, not talking or responding to anyone. Then I watched his eyes roll back and he went again. Mask went back on, but his lungs had completely given up, he could no longer do it for himself and the machine wasn’t doing much either other than prolonging something he was never going to return from.

16 hours of Dad battling on, he took his last breath at 9.19pm. Saddest thing of all, he wasn’t ready to die. He didn’t think he was going to die.

I miss him so much 😭😭😭

[Kiwimagic]

Zoe

it’s heartbreaking you had to see your dad go through this, it’s so very raw for you.

MSA is a beast of a disease.

You will miss him forever.

He is at peace.

Sending you lots of hugs prayers and peace
