The sort of end

Less than one minute read time.

Dad died at home on Monday 15th November.  He went quietly in his sleep - so like Dad 2 not make a fuss and try to make it easier for Mum!

We've made all the arrangements for the funeral next week and I went to see him today in the Chapel of Rest, he looked so peaceful.

I think it was such a release that he went now before the cancer started to show some really nasty effects.  He had been feeling tired and began saying that it was all an effort but he only had some pain on the morning of the day he died.

Thanks to all those people I have spoken to on here that have offered kind words, an empathetic nod knowing just what we've been going through and for trying to help answer any questions I or Mum may have had.

I have a feeling I'm going to be on here more now than before to try and make sense of it all.

Bye for now, Ashley

    Hi Ashley,

    Firstly - Condolences on the loss of your Dad.

    There is never a good a good time for this to happen for the Family, but maybe it was the right time for your Dad. It sounds like he suffered the minimum of pain. and that his body was just tired and he was ready to go, it really does sound such a peaceful end.

    I hope you and your mum find some comfort at this in time, I realise its far too soon to even consider that right now.  I also hope you can find comfort in each others support.

    Yes,  when you feel ready please come back to the site, it really does make a difference being able to talk and ask questions of people who know exactly what you have experienced and know how difficult it can be in times after.

    Take Care of Your Mum and Yourself

    Hugs
