[quote=Anonymous]OP I’m so sorry. You can’t get this right or fix it. It’s just horrible. It’s a horrible thing. Just do the best you can by him and keep moving forward through it. You’re not trying to keep him alive, you’re just holding his hand through this bad period. Remember that the measure of a life is not a good death. You don’t get scored on the last days, you get scores on all the days. The things that made him tenacious and independent may be making it harder now, or maybe he just drew the bad straw of end of life. It’s okay for it to be awful and suck, it’s okay for you to not be able to fix it for him, it’s okay to be relieved when it’s over, and it’s okay to start grieving before the actual death. You’re doing the best you can. One foot in front of the other. You’ll both get there. [/quote]
