[quote=Anonymous]I don't think anything could ever prepare me for watching someone I dearly love die. I'm nearly 10 months out and I still have a hard time getting the last images out of my head. I needed to be there but it was truly traumatic for me.

We took my dad's lead, he wanted certain people there, he wanted a small taste of his favorite food. I'm glad I have one video of him giving some advice to my nephew while he was still able to do so. I'm mad I didn't have him record something for my kids but the timeline was unpredictable and I was a mess. Since this is your husband's dad, be there for him in any way that you can. My husband was my dad's best friend but he was my dad plain and simple, my husband was devastated but he served as my rock despite his own grief. What did I do after? I just wanted to go home and be with my babies. I am grateful knowing that my dad went out on his own terms, that he is now with my mom, together, but it's still just hard. Hugs to you and your family, OP. [/quote]
