Take care.

Sorry for your loss

Thanks

Dogs are the best people, sorry for your loss mate

It is truly incredible how much those who have pets consider them a part of the family.

Pets are amazing.

My old man passed away earlier today
I had visited him twice yesterday and he seemed the same, just fatigued, sleeping a lot, talking very little.He didn't have any dinner, not that he was eating before, only a small bowl of soup most days, if that.
I helped him get more comfortable , and wished him good night around 8pm. This was the last time I would talk to him forever.
We got a call this morning that overnight things got bad with his breathing, today or tomorrow was going to be his last. We went and saw him in the morning and he looked bad, breathing badly and looked spaced out (horrible thing to see). We then had appointment with a funeral director, as we left me and mum hoped he would pass soon as he was suffering. Just before we entered the funeral parlour we got a call from the hospital that he was gone. After the funeral meeting was over we went back and sat with dad for a bit. There was relief he wasnt suffering anymore, but deep sadness also

Me and mum cried a bit but we will process things as best we can in the coming days and weeks and pull through somehow. Funeral is organised , just some odds and ends to sort out for that. Been very exhausting and depressing last few weeks.

Sorry to hear mate and condolences to you and your family TPB.

You only get one father in life so hopefully he has passed on all the good attributes that make you the person you are today.

My great grandmother who was 96 passed away yesterday arvo. She outlived the Queen as she was born in the same year.

We went to the nursing home on Saturday to say goodbyes basically as doctors rang my pop on friday saying things were escalating rapidly.

Fortunately she died peacefully and is now in a happy place.

I’m sorry for your loss. Just a tip as I went through it last year. You will get through this. The funeral will be almost like a relief. Days and weeks after you may start getting really sad again. There may be some regret (there was plenty with me) but it will get better.

I’m not preaching to you but try and talk to as many people as you can and if you have to talk to someone I’m available. PM if you wish.

Take care and focus on your mum and most importantly look after yourself.

Sorry to read of your loss - sadly from experience no words can ease what you and your mum are dealing with.

Take care of yourselves the best you can in the coming days and weeks as you navigate the necessary, small steps aa time.

Probably the most important post I’ve read on LU.

Thanks for sharing it.

My daughter and I send our love and best wishes to you and mum.

You’ll be ok. He lives through you. If he was a good man, that’s it you know.

I had to put on the brave face when each of my parents passed away. Tough it out a bit. Not sure what else to do.

So sorry for your loss mate. Condolences and thoughts with your and your family.

My Dad is 80 later this year, and whilst he’s been “lucky” the dreadful C has never reared its head, his Parkinson’s is rapidly declining his mobility which for a man who couldn’t be stopped/lived his life on the go is so difficult to watch. Down with him in Sydney at the moment and taking him to the tigers game next week, but every time we say goodbye after a trip I worry it’s the last time. He’s survived Vietnam and a heart attack, but I think mentally the battle is being lost with the deterioration in his physical quality of life.

My wife and I are one of the far too many couples who have had to bury a child, so I know when the time comes for my parents to move on I’ll survive and handle it as I did for my son, but it doesn’t make it easy or less sad.

sorry to hear about your father, but burying a child would be the toughest thing in life, no parent should have to go thru/experience. As humans we should be expected to bury our parents not our kids. Unfortunately it doesn’t always go that way. Hopefully your dad doesn’t suffer greatly and you get to create many more memories.
