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 🫂💜

Please post as often as you feel like it. It can be very theraputic to write things down. People here have the option of reading what they want to read. I hope nobody has criticized you for

@chuck7882 Thank you, it's the only way I'm trying to get through it. He probably only has a day or two left. I'm supposed to help a friend with her dog in a few days when she goes away, but not sure how I'll get through... hopefully my anxiety won't be too high. Ty for your kindness

@Baybreeze take it from someone who has lost both parents. Staying busy does help
