this is a waiting game since your father is not eating but just drinking a little water.
this is what is called the end stages of life or the n stages... do you have hospice or someone to help you with this? it can be very tiring, and you can wear yourself out. exhaust yourself, in other words. the only thing i can say is telling him what a wonderful father he was to you can be comforting to you later on in life.he can still hear you. my father was dying, and it would be 2 weeks from the time i saw him that last time. he was crying, and i did not know why. his cancer was killing him....and the only thing he said was "i wish i had of done things differently", and "help your mother" which i did do later as she had the same thing. u c i had to get back to my stupid job. i said i loved him, and had to catch my plane. i forgot to tell him how much i really loved him, and what he had done for me. that was stay around and work for a dynamite company where he gave them 35 years of his life, when he wanted to go to Alaska...all for me he said....he had a baby he had to support. i ask myself everyday...why did i not say those magic words, stay around to help him cross over....just holding his hand....and those are the words i would say to you to support your dying father. honor his wishes, and hold his hand when he crosses over. |

when your parents die, it is more than a difficult journey. as the elders drop off the cliff, we move to take their place. sometimes we are not ready, sometimes we are.
this information came from a counselor who somehow knew what was happening. i grieved over my father's death for many years, but when my mother died, the counselor said i might never get over it, and she was right. |

Best wishes and my prayers are with you and your family 62.

.....my elderly dad. He says, he is ready to die now. He will not eat , or drink much water. (He is old fashioned; and tells me just put him in a pine box--then, in the ground.) He does not want a fuss. Can remember standing at my father's hospital bed when he looked at me said, "I'm tired. I just want to go home." Knew it was his Heavenly Home he was referring. Thoughts and prayers are with you. |

We found my mom's calender when we were clearing out her house after her passing. She'd been in the hospital for two weeks without being home when she left us.
She had circled the 20'th of that month and wrote in semi scribbled text the name "Jesus" inside the circle. Her time of death on the certificate was 12:10 am on the 20'th... She knew she was going home, and when... Still including you all in my prayers 62 |

Hope you are holding up!!
