Thanks everyone. Just got back from hospital and antibiotics haven't worked so he's been taken off to make him more comfortable. My sister and I just stood by him and I held his hand to let him know we were there. Docs opinion is that he's very close but she said it could be another week.

Feel bad for only seeing him a couple of hours each day though we are all seeing him throughout the day.

Take comfort in the fact that you're getting the chance to say goodbye and be there by his side to the end. It would haunt you more if he died unexpectedly without you being able say goodbye.

In my mums last days of battling with cancer of the esophagus back in March, she developed a urinary infection which to our shock finished her off. She was only meant to stay over night at the st barnabas hospice to get her infection cleared up then back home the next day. Sadly that wasn't meant to be.

Was babysitting for my sister last night and had to stay over. Got the call just after they returned to say that my dad had passed away :'(

Feels.....strange. feeling rather numb. He had been in hospital nearly two months so it isn't such a shock not seeing him here but its the thought that I'm never going to see my dad again.

Love you so much dad. I'm sad to see you leave us but I'm glad you are no longer in pain RIP

Your Dad is gone, and I am sorry to hear about your loss.

What you need to think about now, is that your Dad is no longer suffering with discomfort and possibly pain. His soul is in a much happier place now - one where he can be happy.

Remember that, because we'll all end up in the same place at the end of the day. It's that place where you will be together again.

Very, very sorry to see that your Dad has passed away. I know exactly how you feel because the same happened to our family almost 4 years ago. The numbness, the helpless feeling and the sadness will feel easier as time passes.
R.I.P. to your Dad.

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and condolences are with you and your family. Take comfort that he is now free from pain. Take care of yourself.

Really sorry for your loss, just get lots of rest, things like this take a long time for it to settle in.

What Freefaller said, its better for him to be free of pain, no mater how much you need him, he must have been in pain and it was time for him to be free of that
