Some of you might have known that my dad has been sick with cancer. Last summer they gave him 6 months to live. He made it 9 months but wow this has been emotionally very difficult.

I received the phone call wednesday around 3:15 that he only had about 1-2 days left. So we left for Kentucky thursday morning around 6:00 AM. About 20 minutes before we arrived he went into a coma. When we arrived he was on life support for his lungs and pretty much non responsive. After we arrived we did manage to get his BP up and his breaths per minute from 23 to 30. He also tried to move his mouth for the first time in about 6 hours. So they said it was a sign that he knew we were there.

So after all the brothers and sisters arrived we decided it was time to remove the life support. At that point I left the room because I did not want to see him suffer.

So I just wanted to give everyone a heads up and I really feel for anyone out there that has lost a parent. Its very tough indeed. RIP dad. I will always love you.

Thats very sad to hear... My deepest condolences to you and your family!
 
Sorry dude. Watching a loved one take their last breath is overwhelming.
 
I am sorry to hear that. I wish you and all of your family the best.
 
So sorry to hear of your loss. I've been there, lost my father too so I know exactly what you must be feeling right now. He might be gone physically but he will always be there spiritually when you think of him. 👍
 
Unfortunately, many of us here are getting to the point where our parents will start falling ill. My thoughts are with you and your family.
 
sorry to hear of your loss,,i am older, so both parents are gone, just lost my brother to cancer a couple of weeks ago,,,,remember------Our Souls Have Bodies,,,not The Other Way Around....
 
My condolences to you and your family.
 
It's always a sad thing when you lose a loved one.

My condolences to you and your family.
 
Very sad moment.:(

My condolences to you and your family.
 
I am sorry to hear about this. My condolences go out to you and your family. I read your good news thread first so I now see what you mean about an emotional roller coaster.
 
Camaro, my sincere sympathy is with you in your loss. Both my parents are gone (my father to lung cancer) and I know what it is like. The pain does fade but the memories don't have to. We all have our own grieving processes, so just do what feels right and helps you accept it. If you need to talk, we're all here, privately or via this thread.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
 
Wow, tough. I've lost a few relatives, (uncle, grandma, other grandma, step-grandma granddad, granddad, uncle), but none of them were close. Deep condolences for your dad though. I can never imagine that happening.

I'm sorry to hear that. But I don't want to sound un-friendly, do you really have to post it in forums? This is private stuff, at least to me.

The veterans here are a pretty close group. Camaro's part of that.


I don't know what to say without repeating everybody else. I can't imagine how you feel right now. Keep your head up and stay strong. Think of all the good times you had with your father. :)
 
My condolences. I lost my father at the ripe old age of seven, and I've never been the same since.

As a quick word of note, you will get over it, but you will never forget. And, for whatever reason, I've always found that most comforting.

I havent lost anyone really close to me yet, a Grandma from cancer and a Grandpa from a heart attack, was too young to really take a big effect on me. I cant imagine what it would be like to lose my dad, my life would be very very bad if he did. Deepest condolences to you and your family.
 
My condolences to you and your family, man.
 
Very sorry to hear, my condolences go out to you and your family.

Remember the good times you had while he was here as I'm sure he did the same in his final days. Just because his body is gone doesn't mean your father is, he'll be with you always in spirit as long as you keep him in your thoughts.
 
I'm sorry to hear that.
 
Sorry to hear that. I've seen only one person in my life in their last day, and it's something which I couldn't put up with if they were a close relation or friend. Take care.
 
I'm very lucky... The only relative that I've lost in my life was a great-aunt-*touches wood*

But seriously, condolences, to you, your family, your friends, and your dads colleagues-life will never be the same again for you.

My dad had a cancer-luckily it was removed within about a month of it growing. I know what it's like to have a very ill relative, but not to lose one.
 
My condolences:tup:!
 
My condolences for you and your whole family. i'm really sorry for you. I hope time will decrease your pain. we are with you. It's always a hard loss when it comes to beloved people.
 
I can't agree anymore that losing a father (or either parent) is one of the hardest things to encounter. I have been down that road twice, & it still chokes me up to bring it up.

You have my deepest condolences. :(
 
My condolences.

I lost both my parents in two years. My mother had a massive stroke at age 62 and my father died of cancer at 67. Even though I am over 40 and happily married with two kids I still feel lonely sometimes from the hole they left.
 
My condolences to you and your family.

Losing a relative can never be easy, if my experience is anything to judge by. I have lost no immediate relatives, but have lost a cousin, and am currently visiting my grandmother every day, who is staging her last stand. If they are anything to go by, I hold no envy for what you are going through, but it does get easier. The pain doesn't really go away, but you learn to live with it. Again, my condolences.
 
My condolences to you and your family, Adam.
