Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Rattlepopbang, Dec 15, 2009.

  1. I know how you are feeling i lost my only sister to leukemia 2 years after our mom p***ed, stay strong and be there for him and the rest of the family. if you can do it get him out one more time, my bro n law would not listen to me when i wanted to have some friends come over and thrash and get their a bone done so she could have a ride in it before she p***ed, now he can't even begin to try and finish it. prayers are with ya.

    I lost my Dad last year just before christmas so I know first hand how hard this is for you... If you can get him out one more time in his car and take him for a ride.... what I wouldn't give to have been able to do that with dad.... you and your dad will be in my prayers. Be strong and don't fear tomorrow for God is already there, and he will be there for you and your dad.....

    Prayers sent for your dad and the whole family as you go through all this. Lost my Chevy mechanic dad to cancer in 1982 and my fiancee in 2005 to pancreatic cancer. It is never easy to lose someone so close.. Enjoy the memories while you still have him...and keep an empty seat in your ride next spring... You know he'll be with you in spirit.... God Bless you and your family....duane

    be there every minute you can, my mom fought cancer for 14 years before loosing her battle 8 yrs ago. my dad got hep c from a blood transfusion in the 80's and didn't find out until many years later.
    lost dad 2 years after mom. he was also a car nut, they both loved all the good memories we had growing up, and it made it easier having those memories to help me heal after they were gone.
    i cherish every minute i had with them especially the good. i miss them every day asyou will your dad but always remember all the memories.
    my prayers go out to you and i feel your pain.
     
  13. I agree 100%

    Sorry to hear about your father's situation and the pain that you and your family are going through. I am glad to hear that he is getting ho****e care. That care is intended to make the final days of his life as comfortable as possible. Most ho****e providers also offer (free) grief counseling for the family. I hope that you don't mind my suggestion but if you possibly can do so I suggest that you take up the offer of grief counseling. It helps people heal more quickly and teaches them how to focus on the good times and memories.
     
  16. Hang in there! Sounds like you have a real good dad. Ho****e is key in these hard times. Prayers sent.

    This is rough to go through and I feel for you and your family. Knowing that the end is nearing is unspeakably difficult but being there for him means comfort for him and no regrets for you. I was there when both my father and grandfather p***ed and holding their hand as they p***ed was the highest honor. Hang in there.

    Even when you know it's coming, your still not ready! My Pop's p***ed in '05, all you can do is keep him comfortable & pain free.
    Prayers are coming to you and yours.
     
  20. I agree with DBruce keep him comfortable and pain free dying with dignity is important . I lost my Dad three years ago and I understand your heart ache.
    Here is what I learned from his death be happy and good things will happen,
    and Iam sure that Riv will remind you of him and happier times.
    Stay strong for your Dad and family , Rob.

    Sorry to here about your father, and my prayers go out to you and your family. I stayed with my father for 3 months before he died with me holding his hand. Right afterwards I had a vision of him in a pleated white robe, running and laughing through white clouds, and he looked like he was only 42. Gave me comfort to know that he was not suffering anymore and in a better place. Be sure to tell him that you love him. Take care.

    Prayers go out to you and your family. Good to hear that you're going to spend as much time as you can with him in these tough times. Take no minute for granted.
    Sidenote:
    I'm amazed at how much strength and support The HAMB brings to it's fellow members. It's truly a pillar when times are heavy. You can't find that just anywhere.

    God Bless.
