I haven’t been around much recently because my father is now terribly ill. Two weeks ago he was fine but now he has been n a deep sleep for several days and will not wake up again. It has all been very pain-free and peaceful.
I am so sorry to read your news. It is never easy watching someone you love slip away from you. Thankfully, it sounds like he is being made as comfortable as possible. If he can remain this way without suffering it is somehow just a little easier to bear. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
