Need to tell someone
Hello everyone, I just need to talk to someone about my Dad. Can't do it on facebook, too many family members on there and don't want to worry them with my thoughts. My Dad is not doing very well and is on home hospice. Went to family dinner yesterday, had to help with bedpan, got so discouraged. My oldest sister is his main caregiver and she keeps me informed for the most part but actually seeing with my own eyes sure does turn on the light bulb in my brain. He is 78, has had a long good life. He was a giant of a man in his younger days, 6'2" weighing in at 250lbs, today his weight is about 175 and looks much shorter for some reason. He can't get out of bed anymore, this is causing bed sores, Can't feed himself, nothing but laying there watching tv and sleeping. He use to talk us to death now he barley speaks. I just get so upset. My Mom talks as if he has the flu or something and will be better soon. Is it wrong for me to just wish that God would call him home soon? I can't stand to be in the room with him more than 5-10 minutes at a time but I know he wishes I would stay longer. Like I said, just using this forum to write the things going on in my brain. Thanks for listening.
