I lost my dad last Thursday and I am heart broken I feel physically sick all the time :(
He was taken into hospital to be looked after, as he started deteriorating very quickly and started to feel more pain. the first 2 days I was able to communicate with him and then after that he was put on morphine and he died within a week. I was by his side when he passed and I just can't get that out of my head I am trying to remember him as I knew him, but the passing is always in my head and certain parts of the day it catches me with the images.
He did speak before he passed to say "I am going now and mentioned my name which was amazing, just I worry he was in pain during these last few hours of his breathing changing he did a slight frown before he passed and that is in my head. I just feel so sad about it all. I miss him so much.
