How to start?
The end of somebody's life is never an easy thing to think about.
Poor Daddy is lingering in his desperately sad limbo, drifting in and out of awareness. Sometimes forgetting to swallow, sometimes singing good old hymns, sometimes weeping, sometimes remembering who we are.
His 'end of life' care is starting. S1 visited last night and tried to explain what this means. As far as I am concerned, it means that he will not receive treatment that may prolong his life, he will remain comfortable and warm, and cared for, and will be allowed to pass away with dignity and love, when the time comes.
Mummy is rallying round, as she always does, but the sadness is all around. Trying to look at the positive side of things, succeeding, until the wave of emotion hits again. All of us are wishing that this situation doesn't last too long, for Daddy's sake.
Not much else to say at the moment.
Thoughts are with you all Sue.
