Find Care & Housing
Dear "swanalaka,"

Your situation reminds me both of my mom and dad.

With my dad, it seemed like we all were there and surrounded his bedside when the hospice nurse came and told us it was time. I said just what you said about it being ok to leave and that Jesus, my husband and I would take care of my mom. Ten minutes later he was gone.

My mom is 95 with end stage Alzheimer's. In April she survived being near death from severe dehydration and COVID at her previous ALF. She has lost I now believe to be 25 pounds. She also eats a little ice cream everyday along with protein shakes and an energy beverage that I bring to her new facility where she's in their memory care unit with hospice care.

You are very, very fortunate to have a drama-free, loving supportive family.
Now that he has seen everyone, he may finally let go.

As I was saying goodbye to my dad, I told him "Jesus is never late - He is always on time" - the same is true for your dad!
