Just take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering, and that he now breathes easy in the presence of God. I too had the luxury of saying good bye and sitting with dad toward the end in hospice. Its rough, and I still miss him every day even 9 years later, but I'm glad he no longer suffers.
There are rough times ahead, but I promise they get better eventually.
Tactically Fat, my prayers will be said for you and yours tonight. My Father passed a couple of years ago from COPD complications, so sadly I can relate... Be thankful for every minute, and do not mourn or ponder on what wasn't said. Focus on the good times, and remember what he passed on to you, and you will pass on to yours.
So sorry to hear that.
My mom passed when i was 20 years old(23 years ago) and my dad followed 9 months later. While with time it does get easier, Im still sad too.
Remeber all those good times you had and cherish those memories! Another prayer sent your way as well
Praying for comfort for you and your family. I have to admit, I chuckled a bit while praying for "the comfort of Tactically Fat and those around him". Blessings.
Sorry for your loss. I hope he went in peace and at least he knew you were there with him. I think that is the best we can do for our loved ones at the end is to be with them so that they dont leave this world alone.
Hang in there, TF. Our thoughts and prayers are about you and yours right now. Still miss my Dad after 10 yrs. Grandpa too. Looking forward to the meeting after I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Remember, O Lord our God, this Thy servant our brother
who now stands before Thee in the faith and hope
of life eternal. Release him from his sins, destroying his
iniquity, pardoning, loosing and freeing him from all
his transgressions, voluntary and involuntary. Save him
from the eternal sufferings and fires of hell. Grant him
to enjoy and to share in Thy eternal bliss which Thou
hast prepared for all that love Thee: Be therefore
merciful and grant him rest with all Thy Saints,
for Thou art bountiful. No man who lives is without sin,
and Thou alone are free from all stain, and
Thy truth abides for ever. Thou are the one merciful and
bountiful God who lovest mankind, and to Thee we ascribe
glory, to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit now
and forever and unto ages of ages.
