It broke their hearts but we took comfort in knowing that they were no longer suffering and neither were we. Bear with me here...my mum has a terrible memory and when my grandad was really ill all 6 of his children were wondering about going to see him in shifts because it was around Christmas. He died at 5.20am Christmas morning but we spent Christmas day crying but laughing that we all said he had died on Christmas morning so that my mum would never have chance to forget when he had passed!<BR/><BR/>Whilst it is sad to watch and extremely tiring for all of you, it is out of your hands and you should plan to celebrate his life not mourn it.

It was probably the worst experience of my life. When you're told that someone you love is definitely going to die and it's just a matter of time, and to just have to sit there and watch is the most painful thing. The worst though is having to actually say 'goodbye' because sometimes the words just won't come out. The only consolation is knowing that when they die they won't be suffering anymore.Laila Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447862361159699962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948222729678396525.post-403181022294525932009-04-04T08:11:00.000-04:002009-04-04T08:11:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry to hear that.

They took her to ICU yesterday and are trying to get her stabilized. I pray that she'll pull thru but sometimes I think she wants to go because she wants to be with my Pop. She was heartbroken when he passed. I feel your lucky though, atleast you'll be with your Papa in his final moments, I wasn't there when my Pop died and I'm not there for my Nan now and it breaks my heart. I feel like I abandoned them by moving to Florida and i'm missing all the things going on back home. <BR/>You know I'm always here if you need to talk and I'm sending my hugs, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family. <BR/><BR/>Sending lots of love to you sweetie!!LWLHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13975262231105253072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948222729678396525.post-16326917882996017972009-04-04T06:19:00.000-04:002009-04-04T06:19:00.000-04:00Your post made me cry!!

My grandma went a similar way when I was 9 and I can still remember listening outside the room when my grandad was trying to tell her not be "distress the children" when they went in. It was the most horrific experience of my life! She had dementia in the end and was screaming at us that the nurses were trying to kill her.<BR/><BR/>You just need to try and forget the beginning of the end when it comes. Just remember the good things! <BR/><BR/>My thoughts are with you xxJen Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326923727113927456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948222729678396525.post-49692599159473994792009-04-04T06:09:00.000-04:002009-04-04T06:09:00.000-04:00That sounds really hard.

I've had to take care of my grandma when she's had surgeries, but I knew she was going to get better, and she didn't have any dementia. I can't imagine what it's like, but you sound like you are doing all the right things to help him be as comfortable as he can.
