Really sorry to hear the bad news, but 94 is undoubtedly a damn good innings. And your dad, I'm afraid, will also soon face what is inevitable for all of us, you need to accept that. My parents were relatively young, at 75 and 78 when they passed, and I underwent this painful process when in my 40s. Then my father-in-law passed ten years ago, so only mother-in-law left around. You need to look on the positive side - both your parents have lived into their 90s and that is by no means something to take for granted. It doesn't make the pain any better, but you need to accept that they have had good, long lives.
Turn to Jesus He loves you, He is the healer of the body And savior of the soul, There is True Hope in Jesus, God protects Psalms 91, He is the God of miracles Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Jesus alone saves Trust Him with your salvation John 3:16 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 Moreover Brethren, i declare unto you the gospel which i preached unto you, which also ye have received, and with wherein ye stand By which also ye are saved, if you keep in memory what i preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain, For i delivered unto you first of all that which i also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures, Take care
I miss my mum so much. I really don't regret her passing. I regret my relationship with her in the last few years, I regret that she didn't get the care that would have saved her to carry on with her charitable work helping others. It's the regret that crushes me. I could celebrate her life, she was a wonderful mother, I just wish she had a better son. I guess we all get grumpy in our old age, that's what I tried to tell her.
I lost my dad at 39 and my brother at 36 last summer. A misdiagnosis and then an accurate fatally late diagnosis. We are not the same people as we were in 2022 after watching him die. It doesn't matter how old you or they are, it's the relationship you had with them that determines the degree of pain you feel.
@@metastract you are totally right of course. There's the loss. But watching your mum die in front of you is brutal and horrible. Not like on the telly
I'm very sorry to hear about your poor mother. I looked after my mother for ten years it's extremely difficult. Sending my best wishes to you all. Take care of yourselves x
Been exactly same position as you in February. Dad was much more resilient than we thought and has been so strong and doing well. Its a horrible period to go through but you will all come out the other side. Life will be different but you will all find new strengths and will appreciate each other in different ways. Take care, thinking of you all. ❤
Hey, I hope you are well. Thank you for opening up with these topics. Please cherish these last moments with your mother. You might believe you are prepared for the bad news but it will knock you out like a tonne of bricks when it does arrive. You can never prepare for anything like this no matter what. The realisation that you have lost a constant that was in your life since your birth has gone forever. That will be hard to register and accept. I still struggle to acknowledge this in my life. I wish I could give one last embrace with my mother. You get to appreciate the sacrifices a mother/father makes for their children in times like these. Thank you.
I went through this when my mother was dying of cancer. The sister from my practice explained the death process and when someone stops eating and does not want to drink it is a sign of the body shutting down. My condolences because this is so hard.
Subscribed to you because of this video. I admire your bravery and honesty. In my experience the anticipation of the inevitable is worse than the reality of the inevitable. Because life and its end is inevitable it is the stress and anxiety involved at the end which can be debilitating for family members. My memories and thoughts are with you. 🕯
Much love to you, it's very very hard to go through this lost my mum in 96 and my dad in 2020, many years apart, be stong and reach out there is a lot of love out here xx
I feel your pain. Typing this chocked up. I've been through this. Not eating, not drinking enough, everything that you've mentioned. It's like a dream you're wanting to wake up from, even still after two years. Prayers and thoughts with you all.
Prayers for you and your family - in a similar position to you with job and terminally ill parent - its not easy so pray for strength and you will recieve it.
I hope you take the time you need to process what is happening and look after yourself. One of the things I learnt when my gran passed away is that even though they’re physically not here, they still live on in all kinds of funny ways! But hope you’re able to navigate through this time safely. Nice to hear your daughter doing a good bit of communication and looking out for both of you. Your Dad probably thinks he has to take care of you !
Sorry to hear about your Mum and sending love to you and your family. Take it at one day at a time and you / your family must ask for help if you ever need it - there are good support lines and local help groups.
So sorry mate. I know how you feel. I've lost two family members. Its never easy. I feel your pain. Its good to talk about your feelings and your future with your Dad.
You do all a son can do right now. Lost dad a few months ago. We need to step up when the day is coming, but that’s life. And Your parents lasted long and stayed together for many beautiful years. Mine did fifty five years. I wish you all the strength you’ll need.
I am sorry about your mum. Yes, she still can hear and understand even if awareness of sound cannot be communicated due to loss of motor responses. Hearing is the last of the senses to go. Touching and verbal interaction is very important. Bless you and your mum ❤
I am so sorry to hear about your mum. Praying that she may regain her strength, but if not, may you and your dad have peace and mental strength to see you through this sad time. Glad that you and your dad have time to speak to her. My dad passed away suddenly at age 91 while busy working in his garden, so we never got the chance to say a final goodbye. Fortunately, and perhaps surprisingly, my mum has coped well in the 7 years since, and is still living independently.
Sorry to hear this, I lost my dad in January, he went into hospital, and did not come out, he was 96, he did not want to go in, but we had no choice in the end, he was falling everywhere, I lost my mum in 2022, she was 91, my dad went down hill since then, it's difficult to cope with
I’m so sorry. This is heartbreaking. Went through this 5 years ago There is no pain like it. I had a knot in my stomach for weeks before the final day. So sorry to hear this
So sad, my Mum was in exactly the same state for 3 weeks repeating the same sentence, I was comforted by the fact she is no longer suffering and that she’s always around me in spirit, wish there was something I could do to make it better for you
Our thoughts are with you during this painful time, losing those we love is something no one can ever prepare for. Your not alone and remember death is a journey we all must do. Sending love
Sad to hear I’ve just lost pops in the end of August. It’s so sad losing people so close. Good luck man keep your chin up an try an keep your dad occupied. Sending some ❤ good luck brother.
I'm really sorry to hear this. Im inspired by your strength in this. Im yet to experience this loss in my life and dreading that day. Im thinking of you.😢
Dad went in 2012, mum in 2019. All I can say is it's really hard. you have to be strong, and step up because of the person who remains. I put my grieving on hold. Then when I lost the 2nd parent it's a hard hitting thing. But,....... My Christian faith got me through.
I'm sorry to hear this, losing a parent is so hard, and no matter how old and frail they are you are never truly ready when it happens. It sounds like you have a close family and you will all be there for each other, which is a blessing. It's also a blessing that you are between contracts currently so you can spend as much time with your parents as you want to, without the pressure of work in the mix. It's very hard to predict how long it will take for someone to pass, even the medics are sometimes surprised when it happens, but you can google for the signs of a person being in the final phase and that might help you to know when the end is very near. I wish a peaceful passing for your mother, and strength to you and your family.
I lost my mum this year in March from a long battle with dementia. As she was a believer in Christ. His, death burial and resurrection. I know her spirit lives on and can not or will not ever die. They’re is life after death. Just believe
Really sorry to hear this. Hope your mum gets better. I'm in the same situation. Dad is very bad with dementia 87 and not long to live. It's a horrible feeling knowing you will lose your parents. Treasure the memories and tell them you love them whilst they are here. 🙏
Sorry to hear this, its so sad but maybe not a bad thing that you are not having to deal with an employer at the same time. Time to be there for the family through this difficult time
This is so fresh for me. I just lost my mother-in-law, she was 86. We expected her to go to physical therapy and she, unexpectedly, passed of heart failure. Her husband and her had been married for 65 years. He would sing to her at night, before bed, the song, "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight". Dealing with all the same things, now, Peace to you and your family.
Sorry to hear, deepest condolences, i know what you're going through. Lost my dad in 2012, lost my mum 4 to 5 months ago. You will make it through this, tears may catch you off guard but just let it happen. If you or your dad speak at the funeral, i think one should be ready to take over from the other just incase and have someone in the front row to go to just encase. I got my sister to sit in the front row and ready encase i lost it and had a friend ready to take over the speech encase i couldn't continue and i would have gone to my sister if i had of broken down. Just some food for thought. Be there for your dad, kids etc... you will make it through it, take it a stepping stone at a time. Deal with each issue as it comes. Dont over think. All the best, you will get through this lean on whoever you need to for support.
Thoughts with you mate sorry buddy you must really be struggling but well done for speaking out to us all and sharing buddy. Keep sharing with us buddy.
Sorry to hear of this. You and I live parallel lives in terms of age and place in life. Just lost my mum this time last year and now still trying to help my dad navigate life alone. It’s not easy but we all go through it in one way or another. Take care mate.
Sending support and prayers from NYC. We're all here at some point and it's just such a difficult time. Just take one day at a time and do your best to give her safe passage.
Love to you. Went through this in March. My Mum was almost identical from what you describe - not eating or drinking, it was a day or two after that. Just take a day at a time.
Death and loss of a loved one has to be the most painful thing we ever have to deal with in life .. I'm going through it right now .. I'm sorry buddy and I wish you all the best.. One of the things my loved one said when they where alive was ( time is a great healer)... with time the pain gets a little easer to cope with and that is so true mate. Remember your kids need you and they will get you through this by just being them.
Praying for your mother, your family and everyone else going thru similar situations. Lost my brother in June. The district nurses explained the shutting down process. I was with him when he passed. The strangest part was when coroner phoned and asked ME what should be the recorded cause of death. I was totally non plussed... she suggested some people want multiple causes? Have strength and you don't have to do this alone.
Thinking of you and your loved ones at this time. Having gone through this with my husband's parents and then my mum, I know how deep this hurts.. The sun will shine through again, I promise ❤
I went through the same with my mum. It wasn’t till last days that I realised she was at end of life. Hit me hard. It’s always hard for those that are left. 5 years on I am still grieving for the loss of my mum. Dad passed 30 years ago. Miss him too terribly. Hearing is still there to the end so make sure you say the things you want to say. God bless your mum, you and your family. ❤
Lovely loving emotional post Life has these times Being Mortal is a great book for anyone with aging parents and prepares you for these moments which always come eventually
I feel for you mate, I'm the same age as you and lost my dad nearly 2 years ago now. He went through hell in the NHS system as part of it too. Its really hard. We kept saying he would come out of hospital, but I think we all knew he wouldn't in the end, because there were no carers to look after him outside the hospital system. A lot of the things you're going through I've been and am going through with regard to age. I'm definitely going to keep watching and feel free to chat if you need to.
It's very tough mate. I lost my ma suddenly just before Christmas last year,she was 85. I gave up my job and moved in with her and cared for her everyday for 3 and a half years. One evening as I was getting her to bed Her blood pressure tanked at and her poor heart didn't recover. Bad thing is I had her in the hospital less than 48 hours before because the same thing happened. Hospital missed a UTI twice. Make sure the hospital have done a Urine test...they always do a blood test but not Urine which they should always do with elderly women. Make sure she hasn't got a UTI that damages the kidneys I don't regret a day I looked after my mother,just glad I was there to hold her hand when she went. Stay strong mate. Miss my Ma everyday! 🙏
Sending thoughts during this tough period hate. As a colleague said to me a while back after a similar loss "its all part of life". Its so true we all go through the mortal coil cycle. I bet she has had a good life so the way I coped was think about the good or fun times.
I’m so sorry… lost my mom in 2015 she was bedridden for about eight months and it got to the point where I felt that the sooner she went it would take away her pain… my dad is relatively healthy in his 70s and my Aunts, his sisters seem strong and lively in their 80s… I’m an only child and trying to be there for everyone as much as I can … I’m turning 40 in a few weeks with some cousins and a few friends but that’s about it. Hugs my friend… you are not alone, we are with you!!! 💛
My parents have been very practical in this respect. As a family we have had lots of conversations about expectations, what will happen when one of them passes away etc, so I know exactly how things will be in that respect and my role in all of that. Of course, it doesn't take away the devastation of losing a parent, but from a practical and financial point of view, I think we have most things prepared which weirdly takes a little bit of the fear out of it.
Sorry to hear that. Stay strong and God bless you. Its the time we spend and what we do with family that counts. Forget work. Too many are career minded. Work to earn a living and remember money is borrowed time isnt.
My mum passed away 2 years ago when I was 23. Regardless of how old we are when our parents pass it is always hard. I am sending you and your family love.
It's never easy, my friend. Words alone can't express our sorrow. Losing loved ones to the ravages of time and infirmity is a dull knife to the heart. She's being called home. Ease your dad's fears by just being with him and lending support. He'll need it in the coming days and weeks. You'll find comfort in each other's company and the company of family and friends!
I lost my Dad in 2019 on my birthday and my Mum in April last year, after 2 years of battling cancer. I am 58 and was out of work from January to August this year. I am thankful of the many years I got to be with Mum and Dad, which many people don't and I try to remember those when I am feeling down. My sincere best wishes to you and your family.
Mate, I don't know you, but we are here. Keep talking.
Are u the guy who slept over at his place?

Ps, I'm an only child.
I'm really sorry to hear this is happening. Stay strong mate. Look after your Dad and make your Mum proud.
I’m sorry to hear that. She’s lucky to have so many people around that care for her.
I'm sorry to hear that, no matter what is our age, losing a parent is painful. Sounds like you are the only child bro?

God bless you
I’m so sorry to hear about your Mum. I’m praying for you, your Dad, and daughters. And for your Mum, so she can have a peaceful passing.

I admire your courage and understanding 🙏

I'm sorry to hear this, losing a parent is so hard, and no matter how old and frail they are you are never truly ready when it happens. It sounds like you have a close family and you will all be there for each other, which is a blessing. It's also a blessing that you are between contracts currently so you can spend as much time with your parents as you want to, without the pressure of work in the mix.

I wish a peaceful passing for your mother, and strength to you and your family.

I lost my mum this year in March from a long battle with dementia. As she was a believer in Christ. His, death burial and resurrection. I know her spirit lives on and can not or will not ever die. They’re is life after death. Just believe
Sorry to hear this, sending love to your family.
So sorry to hear this, praying you and your family will be ok especially your dad 🫶
Bless, I know how you feel, because I’ve been there to, take care my friend & share your grief with your family around you🙏
Bless you and bless your family ❤️

All the best, you will get through this lean on whoever you need to for support.
Thoughts with you mate sorry buddy you must really be struggling but well done for speaking out to us all and sharing buddy. Keep sharing with us buddy.
Sorry to hear of this. You and I live parallel lives in terms of age and place in life. Just lost my mum this time last year and now still trying to help my dad navigate life alone. It’s not easy but we all go through it in one way or another. Take care mate.
Sending support and prayers from NYC. We're all here at some point and it's just such a difficult time. Just take one day at a time and do your best to give her safe passage.
It's hard my friend I've been there. God bless you and yours.

All my blssings are going out to you right now my guy ... Stay strong ...
I wish you all the best from Australia.
I went through the same with my mum. It wasn’t till last days that I realised she was at end of life. Hit me hard. It’s always hard for those that are left. 5 years on I am still grieving for the loss of my mum. Dad passed 30 years ago. Miss him too terribly. Hearing is still there to the end so make sure you say the things you want to say. God bless your mum, you and your family. ❤
Lovely loving emotional post
Life has these times
Being Mortal is a great book for anyone with aging parents and prepares you for these moments which always come eventually
I feel for you mate, I'm the same age as you and lost my dad nearly 2 years ago now. He went through hell in the NHS system as part of it too. Its really hard. We kept saying he would come out of hospital, but I think we all knew he wouldn't in the end, because there were no carers to look after him outside the hospital system. A lot of the things you're going through I've been and am going through with regard to age. I'm definitely going to keep watching and feel free to chat if you need to.
Blessings to all your family 🤍🤍🤍🙏🙏🙏
Awwww bless you 😢. Sending ❤️ and 🤗 to you and your family x
So very Sorry , we can see the strain on you …. Big Hug , sending Love to you and your Family
🌹🌹❤️✨
It's very tough mate.
I lost my ma suddenly just before Christmas last year,she was 85.
I gave up my job and moved in with her and cared for her everyday for 3 and a half years.
One evening as I was getting her to bed Her blood pressure tanked at and her poor heart didn't recover.
Bad thing is I had her in the hospital less than 48 hours before because the same thing happened.
Hospital missed a UTI twice.
Make sure the hospital have done a Urine test...they always do a blood test but not Urine which they should always do with elderly women.
Make sure she hasn't got a UTI that damages the kidneys
I don't regret a day I looked after my mother,just glad I was there to hold her hand when she went.
Stay strong mate.
Miss my Ma everyday!
🙏
Sending thoughts during this tough period hate. As a colleague said to me a while back after a similar loss "its all part of life". Its so true we all go through the mortal coil cycle. I bet she has had a good life so the way I coped was think about the good or fun times.
I’m so sorry… lost my mom in 2015 she was bedridden for about eight months and it got to the point where I felt that the sooner she went it would take away her pain… my dad is relatively healthy in his 70s and my Aunts, his sisters seem strong and lively in their 80s… I’m an only child and trying to be there for everyone as much as I can … I’m turning 40 in a few weeks with some cousins and a few friends but that’s about it. Hugs my friend… you are not alone, we are with you!!! 💛
My parents have been very practical in this respect. As a family we have had lots of conversations about expectations, what will happen when one of them passes away etc, so I know exactly how things will be in that respect and my role in all of that. Of course, it doesn't take away the devastation of losing a parent, but from a practical and financial point of view, I think we have most things prepared which weirdly takes a little bit of the fear out of it.
Brother I feel your hurt and pain she will be forever in spirit 🇺🇸
Sorry to hear that. Stay strong and God bless you. Its the time we spend and what we do with family that counts. Forget work. Too many are career minded. Work to earn a living and remember money is borrowed time isnt.
Sorry to hear, please be strong!
My mum passed away 2 years ago when I was 23. Regardless of how old we are when our parents pass it is always hard. I am sending you and your family love.
It's never easy, my friend. Words alone can't express our sorrow. Losing loved ones to the ravages of time and infirmity is a dull knife to the heart. She's being called home. Ease your dad's fears by just being with him and lending support. He'll need it in the coming days and weeks. You'll find comfort in each other's company and the company of family and friends!
I'm very sorry you're going through this. This too shall pass
It's tough to watch this, I know the feeling mate.
Can I drive from Liverpool and come give you a hug honestly nothing more devastating then losing a parent much love x
Never met any of my grandparents, my mum died aged 61 and dad was 66. Felt like an orphan be happy you have your parents
I lost my Dad in 2019 on my birthday and my Mum in April last year, after 2 years of battling cancer. I am 58 and was out of work from January to August this year. I am thankful of the many years I got to be with Mum and Dad, which many people don't and I try to remember those when I am feeling down. My sincere best wishes to you and your family.
Bless you, all grace
Have been there . Its so hard when you lose parents. It does get easier over time,but you never forget.
