[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 412912, member: 805"] Steely, It is surely in the "chain of life" as you say. It's part of what we deal with - life begins and life ends. But we are human, we have compassion and love. Loving someone hurts, at the beginning, middle, and especially at the end. Watching your father suffer is difficult, to say the least. I believe, for him, you stay strong and allow him to keep as much dignity as possible. For your mother, you stay strong as well. You may comfort and cry together when dad passes on. Find some of the down time when dad is resting for the three of you to share some memories. Share memories of your youth, funny stories, and include your sister. Death often has a side effect of bringing families together. Sometimes it can make you stronger. If you are Christian, take comfort that dad and sis will be together. That dad is just about to begin the promise of his faith. If not, focus not so much on dad's life ending, but his suffering and pain coming to a close. You and your family will be in my prayers.
