I agree with both of you, Jujube you said it so well. Sunny, I'm sorry I just caught up with your thread. I'm so sorry for what you and your father are going through. You're so generous emotionally. That makes you so very beautiful, and fragile too, because everything that's truly beautiful is also delicate and easily broken. Remember yourself in all of this. My first instinct when reading was, can you take him out of hospital and take care of him, blah blah what a wonderful opportunity ... but it really doesn't seem reasonable. Maybe the thing you can do right now is just see him as much as you feel you want to, and let him know you support his desire to let go of life now. You know your family is in denial, they've proven it beyond a doubt. Their grief moves very quickly, perhaps? Perhaps in a year all this will be forgotten by them, as well. But not by you. You are actually taking the time to care very deeply. (((Sunny10)))
