Hospice

My father started home hospice today.  This has been the strangest day of my life.  Good, bad, a bittersweet limbo.  I don't know quite what to do.

This is a placeholder post, really.  I can't write they way I'd like to because I need to be living these moments rather than reflecting on them.  There is much to say and much to sort out, but not tonight.

Tell the people you love that you love them.  Be there with them if you can, because we don't get to keep them.  No matter how much we want to.

    I'm sorry to hear that. It is difficult coming to grips with the fact that you are losing someone that has always, always been there. It's been 2 years and I still haven't quite figured that out.

    Thoughts. Virtual hugs. Will be wait when you are ready to share. All the best to you and your family friend.

    Thinking of you and your family. I hope the hospice program is able to support you and your family during this time and that everything is as peaceful as possible in such a hard situation.
