My dad can now finally rest in peace.

After what I would say was a short 8 month battle my dad has to finally give in yesterday afternoon.  He was a fighter until the very end and put every bit of energy left in his body into his last breath.  Surrounded by his family, just how he would have wanted it.  Thank you to everyone on these forums that have otherwd words of comfort, experience and wisdom x

  • Hi Matt, just to say I'm sorry to hear your sad news. Your dad fought right till the end and to be surrounded by his family was a lovely ending for him. Please take care of yourself at this sad time.

  • Hi Matt, I lost my mom in February, she has a 7 week long illness from diagnosis to death. It is heartbreaking. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and you are in the right place for support. I too was by her side when she died. Although it was so so sad I was so proud to be at her side.

    There may be lots of questions that you might need help figuring out over the up and coming months. Please don't stop sharing and asking if you need support. 

    Lots of love for you and your family

  • Hi Matt,

    I am truly sorry to read this. I am thinking of you and here if you need to talk. He sounded like such a fighter. We were all there with mom too, I find it comforting when thinking back to that moment. X

  • Thank you all.

    We’re taking things one day at a time.  My brother and I waited at the hospice until the undertakers came to pick dad up, now we have a meeting tomorrow to discuss funeral arrangements.  I’m honestly dreading it, I know what’s happened but it makes it super real.

    Hi Matt,

    I have just come across your posts and am so sorry to hear about your dad. My sincere condolences to you and your brother. I am glad to hear that you all managed to be with him at the end.

    You will have a busy few days ahead of you, as you set about planning the funeral, but I'm sure that the undertakers will make it as easy as they can for you.

    Having travelled this road with your dad, you will have become a stronger person and, this will stand you in good stead for your next ordeal - the funeral.

    Thinking of you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
