My father died at 73 and he was in such a state when he did that I was at peace with it. I was happy for the pain and constancy of misery to be over. I hope that is what it is like for you. <BR/><BR/>Big Daddy must be one heck of a guy. And wow, the fact that he's 90 on that tape. Just amazing.<BR/><BR/>Cyber hugs to you because you are truly a part of this internet world that I treasure. Yield to whatever happens.

And it would be true too in that many of us have been down that road. Like MW, I only had roughly a week to "get ready" before I lost my Mom and yes, it was a blessing it happened that way. But... no matter what the circumstances -short duration of illness or lingering -it makes no never mind as in the end, it still hurts like hell to lose a loved one. My kids and I are dealing with a similar situation now with my Dad's "baby" sister who will be 91 next month. Yes, it would be a blessing on some levels if things would end now or soon and yet, the mere thought of the day coming when she will no longer be here, even though mentally, she is no longer here now, it is still a bridge I'm not yet ready to cross. <BR/>The best I can offer you is that I will keep you in thought and prayers as you face the days ahead and Peace be with you.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30764196.post-41981058425434365182008-03-13T01:54:00.000-04:002008-03-13T01:54:00.000-04:00:smooch: :kotc: :hug::smooch: :kotc: :hug:LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614843246640462976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30764196.post-22112413001841274272008-03-13T01:51:00.000-04:002008-03-13T01:51:00.000-04:00The longer I see him in this condition, the easier...<I>The longer I see him in this condition, the easier I think it will be to finally let go. He has had 90 years, and been hale and healthy through most of them.</I><BR/><BR/>I know there is very little that anyone can say that will be sufficient, let alone helpful. In fact, some of us (meaning me) might even say the wrong thing; but what you wrote above tells me that you have discovered the only practical way to deal with this terrible situation. I had to go through the same thing in 2002 with my dad, except I only had five days in which to get used to the idea and then come to some vague semblance of terms with it. Maybe faster is better, but it sure as heck didn't seem like it at the time.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking positive thoughts for you.MJWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076754748980035075noreply@blogger.com
