Dads in a hospice

So sorry about your dad Sparklingshell, I have heard great things about hospices and I'm sure the counselling will be comforting x

Thanks so much for replying, the hospice really is an amazing place and the care team are outstanding x 

Hi Sparklingshell76,very sorry about your dad.My husband is in our local hospice,this is his third week.He has lung,spine,liver and now brain cancer.He has been very confused and consequently difficult to look after but the hospice staff have all been amazing.He is now at the stage where he is mainly just sleeping which is a blessing for all of us as he is calm and pain free. I am so grateful he is getting such excellent care.

Hi Alice thanks so much for messaging. Glad your husband is comfortable and pain free now. The care in the hospice makes such a difference they really are such wonderful people. I lost my dad yesterday, but when I last saw him on Sunday he was chatting and laughing with me which was such a comfort. Thinking of you sweetpea xxx

So sorry for your loss of your dad.This disease is so cruel.My son is being so strong for me but I am also trying to support him.We are also getting counselling.Thinking of you and your mum.Much love Xx

Thanks Alice. It really is such a cruel disease. I spoke to my counsellor yesterday, we decided not to start the sessions just yet and she’s calling me in a couple of weeks. It’s so exhausting staying strong but jake sure u make time for you too x 

My husband passed away this afternoon,fortunately my son and I were there.He had been really confused and agitated for quite a while,but the hospice staff were so good and said some lovely things about him.I am so appreciative of their care and support.

Hi Alice, I am so sorry for your loss. Huge hugs coming your way. The hospice teams really are wonderful people. Xx
