My dad ted

been with my dad today and it’s getting so hard , we were told on New Year’s Eve that he had months to live not years and until today I haven’t thought he was going to leave us . He’s always been so strong but today me and my sister had to lift him from his bed because he is so weak to give him his meds , he said he doesn’t want to be here now , he looks so frail and sounds so tired it’s breaking my heart , don’t want him to go but I can’t bare seeing him this way

  • Hi ...

    Oh my, this is one of the hardest things you'll go through in life ... but I bet he's so proud of you and your sister .. so many face this last journey alone ... just make the most of just being there .. just hold his hand and talk to him .. tell him all that's in your heart ... the last thing to go is hearing ... so just be there ..

    You won't loose him ... you will just keep him safe in your heart ... and you can take him along your journey through life ... you and your sister are both half of him .. so he will live through you ... 

    I've felt my wonderful mum help me through the years ... and we talk about her always ... that was nearly 30 years ago .. now I'm on my cancer journey .. and if it takes me ... I'd love to think l would have my son's hand to hold too ...

    So hold your dad , Ted.... and make every minute count ... Chrissie xx

  • oh bless you Chrissie and Thankyou , you sound like an amazing women and I’m sure your son must be feeling like I feel , but so proud of you too . 

    I will keep talking to dad until the end , I have so much to say to him and thank him for . 

    You keep fighting and stay strong xxx
