Hello @purple6942,

I really can't answer your medical questions about the brain bleed, etc. You say that they are only providing comfort care for him now. Have you asked if he is a candidate for life-saving measures? It could be that because of other health issues that might not be possible. I don't recall you mentioning your dad's age, however, that is probably a consideration along with his history of dementia.

I do understand how difficult it is to let a parent go. My mother died on Thanksgiving Day after being in Hospice care for less than a week. It is traumatic as well as heartbreaking to say good-bye.

How do your other siblings feel about the decisions that are being made by the medical staff? Are they onboard with providing only comfort care now?

My heart would be breaking, too, if I felt like my dad was at the end, @purple6942. I was worried a month ago that he might be at the end when my dad (79 years old) got a serious infection and was hospitalized. I did find it good to think it all through and process in my mind, though I saw how painful it was to consider.
