I'm so anxious waiting to hear a call of my dad passing

He's in hospice, and has been in one week as of today. But he's dehydrated for sure, barely taking a few sips of water a day. Although he's been having two Jellos a day which is nice. It's very small for a normal person but I read peoples digestion in hospice shuts down. So they barely eat day to day, if not nothing.
But even though he had Jello today and talked for a few minutes before being so weak again and napping, I know he could pass any day. I'm trying to prepare my mind to not be panicked if the nursing home calls. But it's so hard. I have anxiety disorder and PTSD so I'm fearing how I'm going to feel or be. I'm not on meds, I can usually eventually calm myself in tense events, after a while. But no one this close to me has passed before. I'm just so on edge and helpless he could not have had treatment. 🙁 (Cancer too rapid)

I'm so sorry, Coral, to hear what you are going through. While his passing is inevitable (we all die sometime), it's never easy.

As others have said, this is the time to turn to friends, whether real or virtual, for comfort and support. And that you have belief that, in all of this, you know he's going to a better place. I'd like to think you'll somehow find more strength than you thought you ever had.

As @Pretzel said, you're going to get through this.
