Bob, like other long time members here I am hit by this news, and so sorry for your loss. 

I have been wondering in recent months as you have been sharing his declining condition what the impact would be on you if you were the one to find him. How are you doing? Do you have someone who can be with you?

PGage, to moi:
Bob, like other long time members here I am hit by this news, and so sorry for your loss. 

I have been wondering in recent months as you have been sharing his declining condition what the impact would be on you if you were the one to find him. How are you doing? Do you have someone who can be with you?

I've long suspected something might be afoot with Allen*, which is only being reinforced by the fact that he hasn't shown up to the house yet today; then again, he may be in too deep of his own emotional stew to want to do much of significance yet, and anyhow enough of those things won't get done till certain places open up Monday.

*I can now refer to my brothers without guilt as Allen (#1), Dave (#2) and Chris (#3), given other posters freely drop names of their relatives here similarly.

Still, I don't expect to be in any type of "hot water"... Dad's sitch is something everyone concerned with it knew about to one extent or another, including the advance directive (DNR). What I hope to happen is that Allen (since his postal mail comes here anyway, at least) eventually moves back in to continue to do what he's able to, but that's still his call.

I've taken things very well so far, and obviously can now go out anywhere if I get bored... Dad hasn't left behind much that isn't transferable to us. Still, real soon, before the end of the year, I'll have to come up with a future plan, 'cause my personal health, while not insignificant, isn't as impacted as severely as dad's was.

I have ideas about what I want to do and what direction to take, but exactly who's going to be involved in developing those ideas hasn't been thrashed-out yet.

Bob, my heart goes out to you. I do want to thank you for sharing the goings on of your dad, as it is a reality of life that doesn't get discussed. Take care of yourself as you adjust over the next few months.

Bob,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. As you probably know, I had been dealing with my own family health care issue and your anecdotes in a way let me know that what I was going through was not unique.

As you may or may not also know, I lost my wife of 19 years back in August. While I'm still depending on medication for myself, I am torn between knowing that she's no longer suffering, thinking that maybe I could have done more, and extreme guilt for when I feel the momentary relief that I don't have to worry about her care anymore.

When these feelings hit you, please know that you're not alone and many people go down the same road. We just don't talk about it every day.

-Stan
