A few days earlier he was sitting downstairs, talking to visitors. The only saving grace is that his decline at the end was so rapid, it didn't draw out his suffering and indignity. We are all devastated of course. But at the same time his suffering is over, and by the end it was a relief of sorts that he was no longer in pain, no longer reduced, no longer relying on boxes and boxes of medication and feeding stuff. It hasn't really, fully hit me yet. It will. The whole family have been great, and we are rallying round my mum. I cannot think what else to add except to say, when you see fundraising efforts for McMillan and Strathcarron, stick a few quid in. The Strathcarron nurses were amazing. They all deserve more. The two who were with him at the end were there 2 hours after their shift finished. Not a word of complaint. Give em all a pay rise and much more. Very sorry for your loss 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, everything will be going a thousand miles an hour. My dad passed nearly 8 years ago, and it feels like yesterday. But in a weird way, somewhere down the line, you’ll look back on this time and the things that, in retrospect, gave you strength. There’s a strange kind of beauty that’ll come out of all this. Right now though, you’ll be spinning. It’s completely natural to be glad that your dad’s suffering is over. I distinctly remember feeling that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything has calmed down this week but will ramp up again next week for his funeral. I keep seeing things like books and TV shows and thinking "Dad will like that. I'll tell him at the weekend" That's when it comes back to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s important you realize that is ISN’T disrespectful to his memory to change from will like to would have liked in your thoughts of your dad, it’s normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
