texasmama Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Bill, I recall pumping gas on a hot late August day in 2006 and talking on the phone to my best friend. At that point, my mother was on 24 hour hospice and not eating or drinking. Her breathing was labored. We knew it would not be long. I told my friend that though this was a time of loss that these moments were also precious because they were my mother's last ones on earth. Wishing for you and your family the preciousness of these moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 just read this thread and updates Know you are dear to so many here, Bill. It is quite something to be allowed to share, however remotely, in someone's grief. It's an odd gift, a rare and solemn one; quiet and valuable. Thank you for not being private, but allowing us to see a bit of how much you love him, and how much he means to you. And oh, how your dad loves you...

FaithManor Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Over the last couple days my father has developed what the doctors are calling a "Kennedy Terminal Ulcer." Terminal Ulcer. How's that sound? Evidently a subset of "bedsore," but worse. Because the "ulcer" isn't what is terminal (not that it is in any way positive) it is that the body, to defend vital organs—which does not include skin—sends blood and other resources to the vital organs, and the skin suffers "ulcers." I'm trying to read up on these, but seeing (time and again) that they are strongly associated with "dying" is sapping my spirit. I very rarely feel depressed. Today is an exception. Bill Bill, I am sooooo sorry. There aren't words. My prayers and thoughts will be with you and your dad. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Bill, of course you're depressed! :grouphug: I keep thinking of you and wondering how you're holding up. It's hard to be strong all the time. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
