Sheena I'm so sorry to read about your Dad I can only guess how frustrating this is.

My thoughts are with you, and I'm sure you will find the strength to ensure your Dad, and your Mum get the support and love from you that they need.

(((Big hugs)))

My heart goes out to you Sheena, the thought of losing someone we love is so dreadful to have to deal with. You're not losing the plot, it's difficult to think straight when faced with something so distressing.

Thinking of you.

Hello Sheena...So sorry to read about your dad..i know these are difficult times ahead..and i know you have some difficult decisions to make...have you thought if your dad would go in a hospice....the people there are so good at dealing with families in your position....but what i would say is somehow you must find the strength to see him..to be there for him and your mum....you seem such a caring daughter i feel you would regret it later if you did.nt...no one wants to see there parents die...but i believe i was lucky... if thats the right word to have seen both my parents hours before they passed...and i was so glad i got that chance to say my goodbyes ...My thought and best wishes to you and your family at this time....johnb..x
