Hoping when there is none

Been sitting in the ICU with my dad all day. He's been out of it. Very hard to watch. He has cirrhosis and just found out he has stage 4 prostate cancer on top of it. Yesterday he had no idea what was going on. His liver has caused encephalopathy. They're hoping they can medicate him to get his mind back to us. But with all that is wrong, intellectually I know we're just biding our time. It just really sucks!

Hugs Kaley. Nothing I can say will make anything better. Just want you to know that someone out here is thinking of you and your family and sending a little love your way.

He passed yesterday at the hospital very peacefully listening to Bohemian Rhapsody. He'd been obsessed with queen since the movie. The hospital even let his dog come spend his final hours with him. We're handling things better than one would expect. Being mentally prepared for it and knowing he's no longer battling is actually pretty relieving.

Dear Kaley, I am sorry to hear that your father has passed on and that you are now confronting the grief from losing him. For our suffering parents, death is often a relief for they are no longer in pain. I am so glad to hear that your father is finally at peace towards the end. I pray that God shall lead your father to Paradise, and that He will comfort you and your mother through this difficult time. Love and Hugs, Marie

I'm sorry you're going through this. I felt the same when my mom went into the ED. I looked into her eyes and it was like she wasn't even there. She had stage 4 cancer and they only gave her 6 months to live. She lasted 5. It was one of the hardest times of my life, I didn't know you could feel emotional pain like that to the point that it physically hurt.
Then years later my dad went into the hospital feeling sick and he never came out. I didn't think I could go through it a second time. Losing both my parents so young is extremely hard. But I survived, I take it one day at a time.
I hope he gets better, I really do. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
