    I know how you feel. My dad has been getting worse since lastweek and right now I'm staying at my parents to help my mother to take care of him.

    Somebody from Hospice is coming by tomorrow and my mother has decided to start him on chemo pills. The side effects are stomach cramps and skin rash. The doctor said there is only a 30% chance the pill will work. It will not cure him, just prolong his life.

    Mine died a few weeks ago so I feel your pain. At least you had some sort of warning that there was a medical problem. Mine just collapsed and never recovered. It was an undiagnosed heart condition.

    My sympathies.

    My sincerest condolences go out to you and your family.
    The death of a father will never be easy. Mourn your loss greatly, but celebrate the life he had even more.

    03mach1,
    I am right there with you man. I am 37, unmarried and lost my mom to cancer on July 8th. She had been fighting it for 13 years, but the last 2 days were so aweful, that we had to go against her wishes to pass at home and get her admitted to the hospital.

    My days are filled with fending off her friends who wish to know who is going to get what of her personal belongings and when. To make matters worse, I am an only child as well as the last surviving immediate family member. I have been at odds with my (godmother) who is supposed to be named the executor, and each day feels as if I am alone.

    You probably don't need to be reminded that your father will watch-over you as much as he can, will never feel sadness for whatever situation you may be experiencing, knowing that whatever religious belief you may have, there is a much better journey out in the universe that you will be able to be a part of.
    Sorry about your loss...
