Hi, hoping someone may help who’s been through similar. Two years ago my dad was diagnosed with aortic dissection of the heart, kidney failure and bone cancer. Prior to this he already had kidney and a rare blood disease. We were told at the time as he was a complex case they didn’t know how much time he had left and was let home to enjoy his remaining time. During those two years he stayed strong to meet my son one of his main wishes and he battled as hard as he could not baring to part with us. We were extremely close family and still are. It was like living on a knife edge thinking every time could be the last. By Easter this year he had deteriorated and caught an infection ending up in hospital for three weeks where tests confirmed his kidneys were on their final stages and the dissection has reached his neck. He came home and passed away two weeks later at 68. We were all with him when he died but it was still a massive shock. 8 weeks later and I don’t know how I feel bad overwhelmed and so desperate to hear his voice. We were told to get counselling as it had been so long which I’m in the process of waiting for but I don’t feel I can chat much to my family we all seem in different stages. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Thank you
