we decided yesterday to stop with all the extra tubes that havent been put in yet and put dad on pallative care..........i cant stop crying. i feel like i have been kicked in the chest....I want my dad back....i am so angry...i am so angry that he has to go through this.....he has been the most caring lovable kind person his whole life. he would never say a mean word about anyone. he would do anything for us......it breaks my heart ...i cant imagine our lives without him there....it is too much. i feel as if i can barely hang on and i dont know what to expect next ...i will have to find someone to talk to here at the hosp. i know all the processess of death and dying but i cant seem to remember any of them now. i am trying not to panic and the nurses are being wonderful with us

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and how much you are hurting. You are so lucky to have a dad who is so kind and loving. Even though you are hurting so much right now, it sounds like you are doing what's best for him.
