Heartbreaking

I'm visiting my dad and he hasn't had any food or drink all day. I tried to give water , he took two sips and yelled I want to rest! He's in hospice with aggressive Lymphoma cancer. This is awful. He looked at me for ten seconds and said oh it's cold out? And fell right to sleep. He has never slept this much, even at the hospital. The cancer is making him so fatigued.

I know in another few days he probably won't reply at all. I'm mad and sad. I'm scared. He's only 72 it's not fair. I wish we could watch the movie I brought like we used to..but I have a feeling he'll be sleeping my whole visit. It really is the small thing like a movie and just talking to someone we take for granted. I would give anything to have him be awake again, watching tv with me. 😞

The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on. Sad as it is we dont get to undo anything we previously did. This is where you and your father are now. The best you can do is be with him in the way he wishes for as long as you both can. This phase is about him. After that, what you have is the knowledge you did everything you could in these moments. That has to be enough..😷
