[quote=Anonymous]I would tell my Dad that it is okay and to not be frightened. He was very frightened, knowing he would die. He was always afraid of dying- his whole life, actually. He slipped into a morphine induced sleep at the hospice and died about  20 minutes after I left for the  day, completely unexpected for that day. We were told it would be weeks, maybe. I was shocked. He was not alone, though...he was with my sister...so grateful for that.  I would have told him that I loved him, and I did love him, although we had a strained relationship. It was hard to be around each other, but I believe both of my parents believed they were doing their best.  I wish I could have all those days back, and tell them what they needed to know from me. They did not accept a lot about me, and I was quietly angry for most of my adult life, although  we were always together and I did take care of them when they were sick. We were not estranged.  I did not go back to the hospice when she called, because I did not want to see him dead.  I'm sorry about that, too. I was told not to come back, that he would be moved but the time I got there, but, in fact, it was 3 hours. I should have gone.[/quote]
