Less than 3 weeks after the news that dad had terminal liver cancer, he has passed away. I cannot believe how quickly the time has flown by. He went into our local hospice last Friday and died late last night with my mum and their dogs by his side.
He went so quickly at the end, very peacefully. The last few days have been upsetting and exhausting, and I know the following days will be the same while I support my mum through death notifications, funeral arrangements and the needs of daily life. But in a strange way I'm relieved that we've reached this point, because whilst it's been a shock to lose him so quickly I'm thankful that he didn't suffer for long. And he had the chance to say his goodbyes with loved ones first.
