How on earth do you cope with the end. I thought I’d get one last conversation with my dad. He’s on a syringe driver now so not really with it.
mom sat on the mattress next to his bed at home. Holding his hand telling him I love him.
I have a constant sick feeling in my stomach. I hate it. How do you cope

Hello there, I won't say I know how you are feeling but I can say I've been through it with my partner who passed away December 24th 2019. You are doind exactly the right thing and you WILL cope. You find that strength, the one that has kept you going this far. I'm thinking of you. Xx

I am so very sorry to hear this. And I can certainly feel your pain. And there is no straightforward answer. This is just so very difficult. If you can, sit with him for a while, hold his hand and tell him that you love him and what ever else it is you want him to know before he goes. Virtual hugs!

I don't like the term "moving on" because it sounds to me like we are leaving our loved ones and the life we had with them behind. I like the term "moving forward" as it implies that, while life goes on, our loved ones are still with us in our hearts and minds.
