My Dad has just died

Dear Mishap, I am so sorry to hear about your father's death. Please let those niggles pass through your head - however much people do for people they love they always wish they could have done more. They represent the depth of your love for him. I'm so pleased you were able to provide him with comfort & a peaceful place to be in his last weeks. Be kind to yourself. Lots of love & hugs xx

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss Mishap. Our dad passed away in February and his last few weeks sound very similar to your dad's, though he was in hospital. At the end, he was tired and ready to go, it was his time. It's very sad at the time, but if a loved one's final time is peaceful then that's probably the best we can wish for them.

The next few weeks will no doubt be busy and emotional so do take some time to look after yourself. May your dad sleep peacefully now.

Mishap Sorry to hear this. Be thankful that he had a peaceful and dignified last few days. I wish my elderly Dad had had the same.

You must have been a great comfort to him, Mishap, and it seems he slipped away peacefully. No matter how much it was anticipated, his death must have been a shock and you will need time to grieve. Look after yourself - the last six months cannot have been easy for you. xxxx

So sorry for your loss which is always difficult no matter how old your dad is. So glad to hear that he was peaceful and happy in his residential home and they were compassionate enough NOT to whisk him off to hospital as his body gradually wound down. That is a blessing. You and your sister did so much for your dad - no one could have been more caring.

Condolences Mishap - a sad time but be comforted he went peacefully and well cared for in the end. Remember those good times and smile

So sorry Mishap. You looked after him well and it sounds as though he was ready to leave. Take good care of yourself and use GN if you need to. (((hugs)))

Condolences Mishap - how lovely that you will have many fond memories to help you through this difficult time. There will be a lot of practical things to attend to in the coming weeks so make sure you accept the support and help that I expect will be offered.

mishap I am sorry for your loss. However old we are the loss of a parent is a difficult time.

I hope in time you will be comforted that he had a long life and that you did all you could to make his last days comfortable and he was able to end his time in a place where he was well cared for. He will have known how much you cared for him.

I'm so sorry, Mishap. He was clearly very lucky to have you for a daughter, though.

Sorry to read this Mishap. You did all you could. You couldn't have done more.

A hard time for you all round.

Mishap

Mishap, my thoughts are with you as it brought back my lovely dad's death last year. You did all you could and I'm sure he appreciated that.
Sleeping all the time and not wanting to eat seems to be a natural way to go, and peaceful too.
You were a caring, loving daughter and did the absolute best for him, so remember all the good times now.
My deepest sympathy to you all.

Sad news, Mishap, be comforted that he slipped away so peacefully and is beyond hurt now

My sympathies, too, Mishap

Mishap, Condolences and I wish you all the very best. You will go through the whole range of emotions and no doubt, go through all the annoying 'what ifs'. Reading your posts however, it seems pretty clear to me that you only every did the very best you could and that's all anyone can ask.

So sorry to hear your news Mishap,your Dad sounded a lovely man.

I am glad that his end was peaceful and untroubled, and I send you love and sympathy, dear Mishap. There will be a lot to deal with now, so take care of yourself. xx
