Dad passed away during the night.

Oh, I'm so sorry. But it sounds like you are comforted by the fact that your father enjoyed his last few months.

Thank you all!
The last two days have been pretty hard. I have been trying to keep the burden off my Mom. Cemetry arraignments, funeral home, minister, military honor guard, flowers, etc. just so much to get done.

I cleaned out his bedroom, Removed the bed completely (the stains from the mess made it unusable anyway). I had pulled the bedding and removed all of it to the dumpster yesterday morning so my Mom would never have that image to haunt her.

Now I hope I can sleep tonight. I didn't seem to be able to sleep lasted night. How odd....eh? Now that I am not being woken constantly all night..the house is too quiet and I keep listening for the sounds that never come.

Thank you! Peace

I am so sorry for your loss,, but you can take pride that you did make his last days better

I am so sorry! Hugs.

So sorry for you on the loss of your dad. Peace.

Katiekate, you deserve a medal for all you have done. God bless.

my mothers body was done for . i felt relief when she passed away . doubly so for edna . edna was 93 yrs old . just how tired can one MF get before they deserve to go to rest ?
youve still many emotional variations to go thru katiekate . give yourself some big credit for the " return " you gave to your parents . i dont remember any specifics of your situation but im bettin you didnt have family knocking the door down to help you .

I'm so sorry about your Dad. I'm glad that he had some good days recently and a peaceful passing.

katie, I am so sorry. I know you didn't expect him to leave last night. We never know these things. You worked hard to make his life pleasant in his last months. I know he was grateful to you and his other caregiver.

So glad you had the few months to see him content and mostly happy and improved. Glad he passed peacefully. I'm forever amazed at the quality of people on AC that give so much to their parent's care. Take comfort in knowing you were there for him at the end of his life, and may your faith and love comfort you after your dad's passing. More (((hugs)))
