Hope dad doesn't pass yet

I wanted to say, even though I'm not religious, "don't be frightened" to him today, but never got the chance. We talked of a few other light things, but he could only stay awake a couple minutes out of a five hour period. (Aggressive cancer) I don't want to say goodbye today. He's in hospice and I hope he makes it even a few more days.

This is truly painstaking. But I really hope he can make it a few more days. His wheezing (pneumonia) was elevated tonight and no one came in to give more meds for it. They said they would in the morning when I asked a nursing home nurse. But what good is that overnight??

I want /hope to tell him one more time he'll always still be here, that he's not truly leaving 😢

I'm sorry you are going through this. Nothing in life is more painful than losing a loved one. My dad passed in 2011 liver cancer and was out of it toward the end.

@Worldreject Thank you🌼 Sorry of your dad too...I really despise cancer.

@Coralmist I do too. Just tell him you're going to miss him. You will be ok.

@Worldreject I did say two days ago, We will never not be near each other, you'll be with us, and I with you. He occasionally nods yes, but sometimes doesn't. I don't recall if he nodded but he hears most of what we're saying. I'm glad I did say that.

@Coralmist He does hear, and understands.
