Mary Beth,
You have my sympathy. I went through the same thing 3 years ago and I treasure the last few weeks with my dad. They were sad but irreplaceable. May God give you comfort in your grief.

Please accept my sympathy. I'm so glad you were able to be with him during his last hours. I've lost both my parents in the last 5 years and I know I will never stop missing them. But my memories are wonderful company. May your memories help to ease your grieving process.

You have my sympathy. My father died at age 67 ten years ago; my mother at age 70 three years ago. I really treasure the memories of the times we spent together, of the good advice they gave.

You have my families condolences also. You and I have talked, so I think I told you that I went through it with my mom in 97. It is so tough to watch them slip away and not be able to do anything for them. I'm sure you did the best you could with the time alloted to tending him.
I'm sorry to hear of the loss.

Losing your parent is a hard thing. I am glad you had the month to be with him. That is a precious time when you can discuss everything you want and need to discuss - a lifetime of stuff to go over. Bless all of you and I send my deepest sympathy to you and all the family. Love, Ann

That is too young in my book. I am sorry for you loss. Shared time with a loved one is so valuable. You were fortunate to have those two weeks.
Knowing that you were there for him in those last two weeks and all the memories that you shared in your lives will be a treasure forever.----my condolences

Please also except my condolences with the loss off your father. It's a difficult thing to have to go through that. I did it in 1993, but was able to spend the last three weeks of his life with him.
I pray that God will ease your pain and loss.

You have my deepest sympathies. I lost my mom when I was 19, and lost my dad several years ago. Time is your ally. The fact that you had such quality time with your dad before his untimely death is so wonderful, and something that many of us didn't have.
I feel my parents' presence, even though they are no longer on this earth. You will also.
God Bless.

Just wanted to express my sorrow and condolences for your loss. 69 is such a young age these days. Your time spent with him during this ordeal had to provide him with comfort.
My prayers go out to your dad and family,

I am so sorry to hear your sad news. My husband lost both of his parents within the last 2 years, his mother most recently due to stomach cancer just this last June. Both of his parents were in their 80's though. This probably made it easier in some ways. I know he has had a hard time adjusting to being an "orphan". His mom was the glue that held the family together so he has to work extra hard to stay in touch with brothers and sisters.
I know it is very hard for you now. All I can say is that time does help to heal the wounds. Wish I had some magic advice to pass on. You will be in my prayers though!

When your fog of grief has a chance to lift a little, you will begin to feel your parents with you, I believe. I don't know of your faith. But my thoughts are that God would not give us people to love so so dearly, only to be taken from them by death. We are the ones that suffer the sadness. They still enjoy our company.
I've had both experiences. My Mother died in an instant, totally out of the blue - a discecting aorta. My Father had many health problems, almost died several times and went on to outlive my Mother 2 years. There is no good way to experience the loss. Prepared or unprepared (and it's sound like you really had no time to prepare for this). Give yourself time. There is no wrong way to grieve right now.
Much like this forum gives all of us valvers comfort in knowing there are others that understand - know also that there are so many of us that understand this type of pain.
My prayers are with you,
Karlynn

You have my sincere condolences. I am just now beginning to recover from the "foggy" times following my mother's death from cancer on October 15th. We, too, had just a short time while she was hospitalized to try to tie up the loose ends. We didn't finish them, as she slipped so far, so fast.
I hope you and your dad were able to reach peace. I'm sure that's what he is feeling now.
If you want to "talk" -- just PM me.

I'd also like to offer my sympathy. My mother died of cancer when I was 18 and I don't think I've ever fully recovered. My dad died when I was 42. The pain really does ease over the years. The love I received from both of them has never diminished. That will always be with me.

You have my sincere sympathy. I lost my Mom when she was only 53. 60 is really young. I'm so glad you were able to be with him at that time. Time will help heal the loss.
