My dad had a Hospice lady come in to care for him at the end of his life. Your dad is in good hands. Enjoy every moment you can spend with him. *hugs*

Thank you for the thoughts and prayers, LuLu.
It’s also nice to know my slice of life is a ‘small Godsend’…
Your phrase ‘delicate time’ rings true.

Sorry to hear further about your Dad’s condition. And from my own experience with hospice workers, yes, they do an outstanding and compassionate job. Thinking of you.

Both my mother and my father were under hospice care at the end of their lives. Hospice workers are amazing. Cherish the time you get to spend with your father (I know you do).

Laura, Hospice really is a Godsend. A few years ago Hospice came to my mother. All of us, her children and my siblings were there. On the day before she died Hospice asked if Mother had talked to someone who wasn’t there…she had, just that day, to our father. They knew. Hospice is far more than caring. Your father, and you, are in good hands. -Jennie-

What a relief and a blessing to have such support during this incredibly vulnerable, challenging, and delicate time. I am so encouraged by your experience. Every day, I read more bad news, but this somber yet hopeful little post is its own small Godsend. Blessings to you, your father, your family, and the wonderful people whose lives and livelihoods are intersecting yours right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
