I am in exactly the same situation with my father currently, so I wish you and him only one thing....... a quick, painless, and dignified end. Stay strong.....
Ah ha, the biggest guy gets to carry the Browning.. Say hi from us on the hamb. Mine was at Iwo Jima; I have a pic of him with a Thompson, I think that's what they were called.
Praying for you and your family. My father, Sgt. Pershing Wadsworth, was also in the Battle of the Bulge, 41st Infantry 2nd Armored Division. Thankful that you have hospice care in place and that you are able to go and be with him. Praying for your dad and all of your family to be at peace.
No one will be able to give you any words that make it any easier, but just know that your Pop had a good, full life, and if he will leave behind family and friends who respect and love him that is all any of us can ask for. All of will go through this sometime in our life and it is always hard for those we leave behind. I certainly wish him well. He looks like he was having a blast in that picture and I bet that is how he lived his life. Don
I viseted a hospis in Ct last year in Dec. There was a soldier there who was also in the battle of the Bulge. I talked with him for a while and he spoke clearly and in detail, it was hard to believe that he was in a hospis.
My dad was there also. He was an Army medic and, like your dad, he is also dying. But, like Don said, they've lived long full lives and have us to remember them. It's hard, but will be O.K.
Lost my Dad in June. He served in the Pacific, was part of the occupation forces after the war. Hospice helped us a lot during the last year. They are great people. They are also there for the rest of the family, too. Best wishes for your Dad, may he be comfortable and pain-free.
Lost my dad in May, so I fully emphathize with you. Hospice is a terrific organization and they'll take good care of him. Prayers for you. Its a hard road you're on.
At least he gets to be at home! I feel for you and prayers are sent up...was there last year (but with my Grandma) and it SUCKS! Another hero is being called up!
My sister is a Hospice Nurse- I could not begin to deal with what they do. There are a lot of very special people working in these facilities- They will do everything they can to make your Dad's last days as easy on Him and all of his loved ones as they can. Thank your Dad for his service - Jim
God bless you and your pop, sounds like he had a great life. My dad also fought in the battle of the bulge. He was w/the 78th infantry division. We are so lucky to have been raised by Moms and Dads from the greatest generation. PS: thank god for hospice
Hospice sent out a small ladie and she could not handle him so they sent in a large male nurse yery quickly again Thank You For Your Prayers
My wife is a hospice nurse , my thoughts are with all of you that have lost a loved one.. I have much respect for what these nurses and care givers do for those in need of comfort..Although we cant bring them back.. At least we know, with people like them our friends and family are with good care.. I can fix things that are broken, there is no way i could do what this job requires... Everyone exists here for a reason.. I did get to show an old time car guy my dads model A~s while he was in the unit here in salina ks.. that was way cool!!!
Man, I hate that you and your family are going through this. Prayers sent and thanks for letting us share your burden. Have a safe trip.
I was at my Father's bedside for his last 7 days on this earth. I feel we got very close during the initial 3 days. I was also with my Mother as she also passed to a better place. My thoughts will be with you during this time. Fourdy
Man, God bless you and your Dad... With all do respect ,I feel your pain ..I'M so sorry ... Prayers for DAD and all the family....
My wife is a hospice nurse also. Hospice really can make your time left with your dad a lot better. Take the time now to spend with him, it is never easy.
I agree with Bob W God bless your Dad and all of his Generation.....we indeed owe a huge debt to our fathers/fathers fathers who paid the ultimate price. Respect. Rat
Hospice care at home is great if its possible. My stepmother (nobody liked her.. long story) died in hospice in a nursing home over a year ago. My beloved mother inlaw went a similar way this past Xmas. They both got great care alll the way to the end. Bob
God bless your father, you and your father. Just buried my 86 year old godfather yesterday. Helps to recall all of the fond memories. As stated, be thankful he was able to enjoy a full life and the time you had with him.
