Got the extremely sad news this morning that my father passed away. He had a long (~15 years) struggle with a rare form ALS and a more recent struggle with metastatic prostate cancer. I feel like it was going to happen in the next year, just not so soon.
It is. Getting older sucks. I'm in my early 50's and from others I've talked to this is the decade where you do nothing but deal with family loss while still dealing with young adult kids trying to get a footing in life.:hugs: Fritzo.
This is a fucked up club we got going here.
Thank you. I just got word yesterday he has about 2 weeks left. They're starting him on morphine today for pain. My mom asked me to go to the store to buy some smaller pants for his funeral suit. That was hard to hear.RIP.
Sorry OP. Losing my dad was the worst thing that happened to me. You have my sympathies. I won't attempt advice, I'm just really sorry. Sorry for Fritzo too
My mom is working on her bucket list. Off someplace warm, swimming with dolphins. I'm trying to be happy for her and not think too much about what's in the mail. Her existing issues weren't fun enough, she has Lyme now too. Hurry the fuck up vaccine.
That sucks. I'm really sorry to hear about your father. My condolences in this difficult time.I'll be joining your club soon...my father has advanced bladder cancer and will probably die within the coming weeks. It's awful watching him waste away. I feel for your loss and know what you're going through.
