This is truly hard letting go

I realize I've posted a lot on my dad's hospice and his new cancer diagnosis. But tonight it was beyond painstaking Bec he can barely breathe from pneumonia on top of it. Day after day the congestion gets worse.
He's on morphine but they had to increase the dose.
Yesterday and today is the first time he's not able to talk. Yesterday just was asleep six hours straight and today could only mumble things weakly, could barely understand. I'm pretty sure he said Love you.
I saw a tear at the corner of his closed eyes an hour later. He's moaning occasionally, and the cancer is very rapid.
I'd give anything to stop his pain.
I'm sending you calming vibes Dad, to sleep tonight the best you can, and I love you. Thank you 🫂💜

I watched my father suffer in much the same way as the cancer took him. Then my wife suffered from septicemia in hospice. As difficult as it is to let them go unfortunately you have to realize the only peace they will get is in death. I’m sending positive vibes to both of you to ease his suffering and your strength.
