My dad passed away today and I can't believe he's gone. He was suffering with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and had spent around 22 weeks in hospital over 3 stays since October last year. Last Wednesday we were told there was nothing they could do for him anymore as treatments had stopped working and it was just about making him comfortable. Although it was to be expected and we were told he only had days or weeks left it still doesn't feel real. He passed away today and I'm devastated and scared for the future. I'm not sure how I am going to cope. As recent as March he was very healthy and seemed to have beaten it but everything escalated so quickly from around April. Being with him when he died today was a blessing and a curse. I'm glad I was there when he went but it was distressing to see his final moments as his breathing slowed down. I don't really have any friends or close family so feel a bit isolated at this time.
