Denise,
I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad dying. I'm sure that's hard for you. It's very hard when we lose loved ones. My husband died last July. However, your Dad and my husband are both up in Heaven and out of pain. We will be with them eventually when God decides. That thought can keep us going until then.

Prayers also help. God is always there to listen and answer prayers. I will say a prayer for you that this hard time gets easier to bear.

I wish you the best.

Thank you, @denisestlouie, for your kind words. I think a lot of folks feel like your dad did, and I do. I spent many years as an eldercaregiver and advocate. In my work I would try to help everyone in the family become at peace if their loved one's life is ending. It's more than common that the Elder would be the one trying to put others at ease. We're ready, it's the ones we love who get stuck with the grief.
