Sad

[debjunk]

My dad suffered a sever stroke a week ago Monday. He was put in ICU and I was able to get to him in Detroit on Wednesday. He passed away quietly that evening. The doctor said his pulse had been strong all day until about ten minutes before I got there. I think he was waiting for me

*hugs* i am happy that your beliefs are a comfort to you at this time.

my mom is in a nursing home, and it can be very sad and painful to think too hard about any of it, actually, so i tend not to. personally, i hope that i go before i lose too many of my faculties/abilities, but as you say, we never know.

it's lovely that your father lived a good life right up until the end - that's what we all hope for.

*more hugs*

Thanks so much, especially for the hugs. I'm sorry for your mom. It must be hard to deal with that. My stepmom suffered long and hard before she died. *hugs right back!*

{{hugs}} honey I would say and am sorry for your loss, but I also have to say I am humbled by your spirit. It is evident you are your father's daughter. To be able to accept the loss of his being yet, recognize the continuance of his spirit after such a short time speaks to your own strength of heart and soul.

I am sorry for your loss, though you are right, he's not truly gone, and he is still with you in spirit and in your heart.
