Sometimes You Just Need To Vent...

By Domika03

· 672 views

I'm not looking for replies.... I just feel the need to vent... the need to just let these feelings out... bare with me...

 

Took Dad to the Dr for a checkup. Cancer levels have gone up drastically, he's starting to feel a little dizzy & light-headed every day, and the pain is starting to increase. It's starting to rear it's "fugly" head a little more now. We now have Hospice coming once a week. Don't get me wrong, he still "looks" OK, and seems to be hanging in there, but if you know my dad, that's his nature. He won't really complain, and if he does, you know it's bad. I don't like this. My heart actually kinda hurts right now. Feeling sad, but oh so thankful for having him around...

    Thoughts & prayers with you my dear! It is a very hard thing to watch our parents deteriorate before our eyes!

    My dad died 10 y ago and my mom is 85 with a ton of health issues. It's really tough!

    I am going thru the same thing. For my dad it is just a matter of time. It is so hard to watch your big strong daddy sit in a wheelchair barely able to breath. its heart breaking. I feel ya girl, I dont know if it is possible to just "acceptd" it. I dont think I ever will.

    My dad died from a massive heart attack taking all of us kids by complete surprise. I always gave him and hug and a kiss when I saw him, but I would give anything to do it just one more time.. There are just so many things I never got to say to him... Make the most of every minute you have with your dad.

    So sorry you're also dealing with this. It's definitely not easy & I think it takes a bigger toll on us than what we even realize. I know it seems to be that way for me anyway. Totally affecting my sleep.

    Stay strong for your dad & just continue to support & love him as best as you can. God bless
