My dad has moved on to the other world

[spacebuggy]

Dad died yesterday morning at about 1:00 am. he was asleep and just started breathing slower and slower and let out one big breath at the end. it was very peaceful. to tell you the truth my biggest emotion at that time was relief. I was so stressed and freaking out at the prospect that he would be alive and in pain for weeks or maybe even months

I'm so sorry. It does seem like he died an enviable death.

thank you. yes. he really had a dignified death. even though it was like a nightmare (oh I hate hate hate hospitals) I kept telling myself...oh this could be so much worse...and my dad even said it once or twice. my dad said to me "well worse things happen to people every day.."--i thought that was an amazing attitude, coming from a guy with tubes going in his neck and stuff!)

I had the same feelings when my grandmother died.. exactly as you wrote.
I'm sorry - still it's always hard when you lost someone you love.
P. S. pardon me my english. I hope I didn't make many mistakes.

oh man. How lucky to be there, though. We had a scare with my mom earlier this month but it seems past. Hard to believe we're at this point innit? Best to you and yours. I'm so sad for you.
