I am thankful that he was at home, where he wanted to be, with you and his wife at his side. May he rest in peace and may you and your family know that he is always with you in spirit and in your heart. Prayers of strength and comfort as you deal with grief of the loss of you Dad.

That was the way my father passed too, Metsa: in a hospital bed set up in his own living room, with me holding one hand and my mother holding the other one. I pray for peace for your family, and I add my gratitude to yours that he did not linger without hope.

Dad was on the sofa, he refused to have a hospital bed put in. Mind you, it was only the day before we were offered that, so there wouldn't have been time anyway. He had been on the sofa for a few days, he couldn't walk the last night and trying to move him would have hurt him. I still can't believe it was so fast. On Thursday he was a bit confused and sleeping a lot, but 'with it' some of the time. When the doctor called with his test results, he was able to fully understand and talk, and he took notes as he always did. Then the next day he died, 20 hrs later. How can it happen so fast? I am so glad we had the community nurse here, she told us he was fading and to call my sisters, at 11am ish she thought we might lose him overnight Fri-Sat. And then she gave us a warning that he going at 1pm, so we were able to hold his hands and say what we needed. So fast, but I am trying so hard to be grateful for it not being dragged out. The funeral is a week today, the crematorium is busy till then.
He was talking about Sultan on Thursday, I really hope they are together again now, they loved each other so much.
Thank you Leeny, and I pray for your peace too. I know that we were lucky to have the chance to do that, and I truly feel honoured that I was able to be there when he passed, despite everything. -

Metsa!! I just found this thread. I knew, of course, that your dad had passed, but didn't know the details. I'm so glad you and your mum were able to be with him. Sad, too, your sisters didn't make it in time, but I know he understood. That you were there to comfort and love him is important. Take good care of yourself and your loved ones. Know I am praying hard for you and all here who have lost loved ones, recently or not. It's still a loss and still sad and hard. Even when we know our dad's are better off, it is still not easy. May you and your family have peace knowing he is not suffering and as you said, didn't live without hope. I will say extra special prayers for him and your family during my dad's funeral on Friday, too. Bless you.

So glad you were able to be with him. We were with my dad too, I was holding one hand and my brother his other, and my mom was in her quiet voice telling Johnny it was ok to go, we would be ok. It seemed as if that's what he was waiting for, her assurance we would be ok. Boy, that was over 25 years ago, but with your dad, and Lainey's just passing, it seems like last week.

Metsa,prayers for you and your family in loss of your Dad. May he rest in peace. I know how hard it is to lose a parent I went through it 14 months ago , my heart goes out to you and know in time even though you will always miss your Dad and love him and mourn him,you'll recover to where the pain will be more bearable,because peace in knowing that he suffers no more and that he loves you forever and will be connected to you always will help you bear it. Also I shared this with Lainey and I hope this helps you too, that a friend of mine told me that when your loved one passes after a time, when you need it most,they send their loved ones a favor and to keep a look out for it,and you will feel the love and peace the favor brings you.Gods Blessings
