He’s dying. They unhooked everything this morning, including his defibrillator. He’s not really eaten more than a mouthful a day for the last week and a half. They gave him some more phone an hour or so ago, but he’s been fading in and out all day. I FaceTimed with him twice today, but I don’t think he was aware. We’re heading out tomorrow morning, but we live over twelve hours away, including a feet ride, so it’s unlikely that I’ll say goodbye in person. I was prepared . . . But not really.
I am so very sorry. If you are meant to be there when he passes, you will be there. If you aren't there, know that is okay.
Just went through this with my husband 2 months ago. His dad made his exit pretty obvious. But...I told my husband the very same I told you.
Your dad knows you love him. Never doubt that.
I hope for a peaceful passing for him and for peace to be with you as you travel. Safe travels. Hugs to you.

Amy said it beautifully. I wish you and your family some peace through all of this.

I am so sorry to hear this. I went through something similar with my brother-in-law a few years ago, but I can only imagine what it is like with a parent. I am so close with both my parents. My thoughts are with you and your family. I don’t think you can ever really prepare.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. They mean the world to me. He knows that he is loved and I do too. Grieving is for the living and I know that he will be at peace.

Fifthelement, I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you. ((hug))
Thanks everyone. I just received word that he has passed. I’m sat on the ferry admiring the breathtaking views in tears. I know that he’s at peace now and am thankful that my mom was able to be there with him.

Sorry for your loss. We went through something similar with the in law step dad in February this year. My thoughts are with you xxx

I’m so very sorry, FE. I hope when you get there, you and your mom can cry together and bring each other comfort (hopefully some smiles, too).

I was talking with my cousin earlier, who's grown quite close with my mom. She said something to the effect of how we typically see our parents as our parents, vs. their own people who had a complete history prior to having children.
I always knew this rationally, but it still hit home - and hard, for some reason.
Maybe because my mom is nearing 90 (and still out and about AND driving ), I know it's on me to make peace with what I still resent her for. I need to forgive her, as I've done for myself. I think I owe that to both of us.

Hadn't listened to that one before. When Deb/The Weepies swing back by, it'll be a solo trip (my people will not go) but oh how wonderful it will it be to see live music again.
