My dad died tonight.

I was holding his hand when he stopped breathing.

on a side note: I was asked to help pay for the funeral three times this evening by my step mom and her daughter. two of those times were while he was still alive.

"mourn with those who mourn"

my heart hurts with yours, Andrea. I know it's not at all the same... but know that and I hope it's somehow comforting.

*hug* I'm sorry, chica.

[aniceschwander]

can you find out if they have paid bereavement at our work and how many days?

[daydrmbelievr22]

Yes, we do. Three days paid leave.

[aniceschwander]

are you 100% sure of that?

*hugs* I'm so sorry... At least you were there with him.. And you spent as much time as you can with him... even at the end.. At least you were there with him for him and for yourself..

Please take care...

At least he had you.

That sucks about your stepmom.
