This news sucks.
Tough times takes family.
Don't alienate them and let them help you through this.
You'll get through.

Pete,

If you're beating yourself up for not getting there, don't!

I've unfortunately been there for my mother's passing and did not make it to my father's passing in time.

They both suck and I found that one was not any easier than the other.

Prayers with you and yours, buddy.

Very sorry to hear this terrible news.


Please remember what a great life you had with your Dad, and don't let yourself get run down with the process of the trip. You have a lot of support here, and we care about you!

Very sorry to hear Pete. No matter how old you are, a parent in failing health is tough on you. You'll make it though! Hang tough!

Can't give you a 'Thanks' because there isn't much good in your post. Hang in there as best you can. And remember - when you're going through hell don't slow down. Ain't nothing to see there anyway.

Been there, Pete. Its tough. Hang in there and don’t beat yourself up. Do what you have to do, BUT don’t make it worse by pushing yourself too hard.

Condolences to you and your family.

Sorry to hear Pete Please accept my sincere condolences. I'll pray for the entire family.

You mentioned you talked with your Dad weekly. Maybe he left before you got there to make it a bit easier on you. Make sure you aren't too hard on yourself.

I wanted to tell you all that I'm OK. Until I read your posts. Shit, now I have something in my eye.

There must be a way to get us all together in one place. If this is possible, I'll guarantee that I won't have any damn doctors all up in my shit on that date. WTF is with those guys?

I wanted to hit Thanks on each post but I'm too exhausted. So, Thanks.
