MrsP - sending some good thoughts your way....

I'm so sorry, he will be in my families prayers, I promise.

Thanks. It's hard right now but I know this is what has to be done. In a way I'm glad we're all getting a chance to say good bye to him like this. My 11 y.o. daughter will come down tomorrow morning but just to say I love you and wish him well and only stay for 2 minutes. Then I want her out and back home with her dad. I know things won't be very good here tomorrow afternoon and I don't want her to witness all of it...just want to let her say good bye to her grandfather while he's still "alive."

There will be no funeral or ceremonies or anything. He wished for a simple cremation and that is what he will have. We'll split up his ashes (he's got 2 other children who are coming tomorrow). I do like the thought of cremation so that I can always keep a part of him with me.

MrsP. : stay strong. My thoughts are with you.

MrsP -- you & your family are in my prayers today. It is hard, but its even harder knowing the only result is to bring it all to a comfortable end.

I was once in a similar situation with my grandmother. It was heartbreaking to even think about it, but it was more heartbreaking to know that she was so miserable that she just wanted it over.

Peace to you

Thanks. He really does need for it to be over. I wish I could make it happen for him already, but also I wan't everyone to have their chance to say good bye to him. It's hard when all you can do is wait and not really do anything to help..

I wish my husband was here with me now, but I asked him to stay home with our daughter until tomorrow. I'll really need him thenl

Mrs.P I have never posted this before but I went through the same thing with my grandfather. He had a mild hearattack and he went in to have his heart put back in rythm. Everyone told me it was a "simple procedure" no big deal. And being naive enough to believe it I never got a chance, or made the time, to say goodbye until he was already on life support. Probably why I sometimes overdo my goodbyes now. The decision to terminate was a difficult one, but right nonetheless. He never would have handled being incapacitated in anyway. Saying good-bye did offer some closure...hope it gives you and your family the same.

My prayers are with you.
