Dad in hospital

[Sally44]

I've not been on the forum for a couple of days.

My father has end stage dementia and pneumonia. He's been in hospital since Thursday. He's sedated and unconscious. It's only a matter of time before he dies. He's receiving palliative care. He's had no food for water for days.

So sad to see him reduced to this.

I know none of you knew him. But he was a good father and husband to my mother.

I'm not saying we never had family fallouts, because everyone does.

I would give anything to have another conversation with him.

So sorry, Sally: thinking of you. <'> <'>

my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult period i personally experienced something smiliar twice this year so know how you feel so heartbreaking and deverstates people bad! but memories are forever no one can rob you of them ever the ones you've made together the fun happy times got to remember you had them that will keep you mentally strong i know how hard it is to keep positive and emotionally 'hold it together' for your family....

 

"memories last a life time they can take away futures hope and dreams but not the memories made of yestoday"

 

it hard to cope and deal with everything that's happening you feel so drained and tired from whole situation

 

all i remembered that for my close relatives were seriously ill ( critical/terminal) condition in hospital that their pain suffering in illnesses they had for long time would soon end even though i miss them so much so bad my heart is broken

 

saying goodbye and letting go to someone you so love and care about is one hardest tasks someone ever has to do .... i think ..... i think they are in best place in heaven being my special angels watching down over me .....

 

take care

i hope havn't made you more sad or depressed you further

I am very sorry to hear your sad news.

 

My mother died under similar circumstances in May, and although the pain has eased it still feels very raw.

 

My thoughts are with you and your family.

I lost my mother three years ago this month, and it still hurts, but it does get better with time.

Thinking of you Sally,

 

We lost mum-in-law last Jan with dementia. Very sad end, but in time you'll remember happier memories. Make sure you give yourself time to grieve, it's not something you can push to the back of your mind while you get on with life, or it may come back with a vengeance when you least expect it. I feel bereavement is the one thing in life you can't pretend hasn't happened, so you have to just go through it. It shows you loved him.
