Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Donna You have explained exactly what I would've concerning the end days of my dad. During the last 2 1/2 yrs it seemed we had many close calls, times when I would have thought dad was going to die. Then, as you said, during those last 2 weeks, I just knew. I was preparing my dad and I for what was ahead. He was definately different than he had been all along. His breathing became gurgled, his arms and hands seemed to curl up, yet he was still awake and alert. He just seemed to have a certain peace about him. He was so thin, yet his eyes were bigger than life. sigh.... Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I feel for you so much. My dad passed away just about a month ago from complete liver failure from HepC and Cirrosis from drinking all of his life. I feel so incomplete with me having HepC also. Actually believe it or not I found out I had it before him and I'm not a big drinker. Usually just New years eve or celebrations. Anyhow those moments take you by suprise. Like I know my dads birthday is coming up on Oct. 22nd. what's ironic is that the last week dad was at home we seen him every day and stopped at his house and laughed and joked around. I saw him on the last Friday in June and the next night on Sat. he was critically assulted and spent 7 weeks in the hospital in Columbus before succombing to liver failure and kidney failure. so you are in my thoughts and prayers and I am sending you out a great big cyber hug.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Yes Joyce, I do remember your talking about your father and how impossible it was going to be for you to do tx while taking care of him.. and his resistance to going to a nursing home but how he had to do it.. YOU DID the RIGHT THING hon,, you DID! He was able to get the care he needed and you wer able to do tx.. I know you will miss him, remember it was just a little over a year ago that I lost my dad too.. I know how you are feeling and am here if you ever need to just talk..you know you can email me anytime off the forum list if you feel like it too.. Im sorry hon,, but just know that HE is at peace now,, and IM so glad you had that good visit before he passed... I was blessed with that too prior to my daddy's passing ,, hugs hon jaxJackie Subject: my dadTo: Hepatitis_C_Central Date: Saturday, October 11, 2008, 3:56 PM ive spoke so much about him in the beginning and the trouble and i visited with him testerday nice visit, briught him a new phone and today i was coming up with his grand son and makin pumpkin cookies, i was gonna call him at 830 am and figured no thats to early, wheh 10 min later i got a call that he had just passed away, he hate breakfast and rolled over, im very sad ofcourse, oct 7 was my ma;s 11 yr anniversary and now he dies and i have a birthday next week im so glad our last week together was a good one, ill miss his calls eveynight at 7pm, he was looking forward to the fair at the home nov 6 im just sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm so sorry. Grief is a funny thing. My father was in a bad car accident and suffered brain damage when I was eight. I never knew until much later when he physically passed away. Over 20 years, and I'm still grieving. m > > ive spoke so much about him in the beginning and the trouble and i > visited with him testerday nice visit, briught him a new phone and > today i was coming up with his grand son and makin pumpkin cookies, i > was gonna call him at 830 am and figured no thats to early, wheh 10 min > later i got a call that he had just passed away, he hate breakfast and > rolled over, im very sad ofcourse, oct 7 was my ma;s 11 yr anniversary > and now he dies and i have a birthday next week im so glad our last > week together was a good one, ill miss his calls eveynight at 7pm, he > was looking forward to the fair at the home nov 6 im just sad > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
