My thoughts are with you and yours at this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hospice is a great group and will help all your family! Blessings to you!

I went through this with my grandfather. He lived with me for the last 5 years of his life. He died at home where he wanted to be. Hospice came by every morning to check on him. My strength during this time came from being with him and taking care of him. My focus was making the last of his days all about him, his needs and comfort. I wanted him to be better and the only way that could happen was for me to let him go to where he would be better and love him enough to not want to selfishly keep him with me. There's no way to make losing a loved one easier except to love them and give them exactly what they need. Be with your dad as much as you can. Do not give yourself reason to regret missing a minute with him if you have that minute to give. Do not regret minutes missed because your life and needs are important too. He will  want you to take care of yourself and your life's needs to. For the family, be there for each other for it's in the giving that you will receive the strength you need to endure this. All my best to you and yours and most especially your dad.

There are many things you will be able to do to help. You will not as routines are set up. If he likes stories, reading to him would be a great thing.

Try to be with him as much as possible.  He really needs you now.

Be strong and God Bless, whovin.

My heart goes with you and your family, he is with good compassionate and professional  people, but I doubt that's much solace at the moment, my thoughts are with you, please keep us posted,xx

My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family, whovin.  I hope your dad can be comfortable and as pain-free as possible during his hospice, and that you and your family spend as much time with him as possible, sharing happier times.  Prayers for all.

I'm sorry to hear the sad news about your dad, whovin. Whole faith and remember.........

Thinking of you, God bless you and your family.

I wish the best in this bad time. This is the time to be strong and confident in knowing that this is a part of life and is the plan for all of us and great love and knowledge awaits us all.

Lost my step-father recently. We all lose a special person in our life at one point. We grieve and wish that we had spent more time together. We regret not having said how we felt towards them and how much they really meant to us and the positive impact they've had on our lives. Your dad is still with you, make time for the two of you, see him often. Hold his hand and tell him you love him and all the other things that were never said prior to his illness. You still have time to do this, do it now, as many of us never had that opportunity.

I wish you and your family well and may the good memories outweigh your grief.

I don't have the right words, who does? Know they are in my heart though and God bless YOU with what you are going through. God bless your dad...........

whovin my heart and my love go out to you and your family...keep your beautiful sense of humour intact because you are going to need to pull it out for all to rest upon...humour can be a rock...use it as one friend....Peace and Love...blessings too.
