[quote=Anonymous]is it home hospice or a facility? I'd imagine she's staying round the clock and you are taking over? she may need a break from it all. if you can offer to stay with him so she can rest knowing he isn't alone. help her find and bring token items to share with him in his bed, photos, blankets. find someone in the family to help with arrangements that will be needed later. you can't and won't want to do it or think about it. delegate what you can that isn't just getting every ounce of family time. I'm sorry, your dad if in hospice isn't in pain and at least you can say a goodbye. it's harder than anything imaginable, but you will get through. also, sometimes just letting the person know, it's okay to let go, allows them to peacefully stop fighting. let him know it's going to be okay and he can go. sorry again, just my advice. been there twice....[/quote]
