Grim News

I am a firm believer that your life will be better knowing you got to say your goodbye's or whatever else that involved.

doesn't make it easy now. maybe harder.
Hang in there, you got it.
 
I offer my condolences to you and your family. My mother has been battling breast cancer and more recently brain cancer for the last 7 years. I feel your pain. Stay strong and hang in there.
 
I'm so sorry to hear this - stay strong for your family. Cancer is a horrible thing, it took my mom in '04. Our prayers are with you.
 
Hang in there man. Take solace in that you were able to say your goodbyes.

I'll be dealing with this soon. My father has a rather rare form of cancer and treatment is very "new".

To everyone in this same situation, you hang in there too.
 
I just went through it in February with my Dad. Hang in there. It sucks and the world seems a little dimmer, but it will get better.

Time heals all wounds. It sounds like crap when you are right in the middle of it, but it is true. Just give it some time. You have a lot of friends pulling for you.

I am SO sorry to hear that! Best wishes to you and your family.

Sorry to hear this. It's not an easy time for anyone and right now it's important to be there for your dad and him for you.

Thoughts and prayers to all of you.

I'm sorry to hear this Kevin. I went though the same thing with my stepdad (cancer) and dad (emphsema) in a 2 month span. They were long illnesses, so I got to say goodbye to both. It helped a lot. But the thing that really got me through was trying to help my mom cope. We were there for each other. My thoughts are with you and your dad. Stay strong brother.
 
My condolences as well. recently went thru similar with my mum and dad so i know what it is like - family is the most important thing in life especially now, you'll ifnd family and friends pull together for mutual support at these times!
 
She was moved from the Hospital to a Hospice?? Nursing home to me. I stayed with her last night. 3:30, I woke up to her trying to get up. When I went to her bed, she said she had to go (i'm thinking death). She then stated she had to go to the store. She is now starting to get confused. I took my laptop with me this trip. I am in the visitor room drinking coffee and waking up from about 2 hours of sleep. It's pouring down rain outside.. I wonder if today is going to be gloomy for more than just the rain. I'll post updates.

I just woke up. I was sent home about 1PM today. I was exhausted. Soon as I got home, I crashed. I just got off the phone with my dad. He stated she was not in good talking spirits today. Her pain is getting worse and the Hospice is increasing her meds (again). I would be beyond shocked if she makes it thru the weekend. I'll be heading back there tomorrow and probably stay till the end. After she passes, I'll be staying at my dad's for few days to give him a buddy to talk to. Sorry if this is ramble, but for some odd reason in my head, it feels good to do it.

Kevin

PS: Thanks for all the kind words from everyone. I read this thread countless times last nite and this morning.

Nothing new today so far. Been at the hospice for few hours. She seems to be in good spirit, but either the pain is greater or it is more noticable to us. Thought I would pop on for a min while they giver her a bath that she requested.

I just went through this myself. Dad was diagnosed with cancer April 2008, took a turn for the worse in November when a mass moved to his brain. Ended up back in the hospital mid December. Went to see him everyday that week. Wednesday night he slept most of the time. Thursday they started to up his pain meds and he slept pretty much all day. I woke up Friday with a call from my sister saying it wasn't looking good. We called all the family to be prepared. We had his iPod going all day with all his music. By now he was in a pain-free slumber. We made jokes he was at the Pink Floyd concert. Watching my uncle (his twin) was the hardest. We couldn't get him out of the room if we tried (which we didn't). My mom went home to do something (and get some space from all of my dad's side of the family). My sister and I were in the room with him listening to Beatles "Let it Be". I was holding his hand and we turned it up. He opened his eyes, looked at me for a minute and then passed away. It was tough, but I was glad to be with him. He was only 52.
