My Dad passed away this morning....

It happened so fast. His breathing became such a struggle in the middle of the night. I called home health nurse to assess him at 6am. His lungs filled with fluid  in just a few hours. 
The ER doctor suspected a pulmonary embolism. 
I'm so thankful for the time I had to be with him the last few months. 
Thank you everyone for your living comments to my previous post. 
 Much love to you all,
Robin

    I am so sorry for your loss , I will continue to pray for you and your sister. In the days ahead give yourself permission to mourn the things lost and the things that never were. I know it will be hard because you are such a caregiver but take some time and let others take care of you .

    Dear Robin, I feel for your loss and send you some warm and caring hugs. I lost my dad and not quite 10 months later, I lost my mom. Seeing your love one take their last breath is quite an experience.

    I'm glad that he had enjoyed and appreciated your care and presence and that you have been allowed to see your dad show his gratitude to you for the care and love you gave him. Love is never wasted, it's the greatest thing that can change the world and make it better.

    You are a caring and loving person, it's plain to see.
    You are in my thoughts and prayers for the days ahead.
    Warm hugs,
    JB

As each day passes...things will seem better, Try to get some rest, here and there, when you can. I am sure it is going to be a very busy few days coming up.

    Hi Robin, I came across your blog by chance. Sometimes these things happen by God's hand. I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I feel by reading your previous posting, there has been some healing that has happened both for you and your Dad. All good. You are an amazing person with so much strength. Know that you were chosen to live the life you have had. You have gained so much from all your hardship and God always restores what is taken from us in his time. Lots of prayer and blessing is sent your way. May this new year be filled with much blessings. Sandy

    Robyn, when my Dad passed away many years ago I thought for sure my world was going to end. We had just lost Mom 10 months before and although her death was hard, it was not anything like the grief I felt at the loss of my Dad. I didn't have much time to recover from those two losses when we lost Steve's Dad 11 months later. All I can say to you hon, is it does get better but you will have many days of deep sadness. Know we are all here to help you through. I wish I had been online back then. Hugs and comforting prayers for you.

    Robyn dear ~ I so admire your humility and courage ... to keep

    of goodness you were to your Dad
    and what a role model for your own Children. You will never regret expressing such great
    compassion in your Dad's final
    days. Bless you and prayers for
    your healing and recovery.

    So sorry for your loss. Just how lucky you were to have spent this precious time with your father.But also know in your heart your dad was probably feeling so peaceful and blessed to have spent so much time with you in his last days. Remember grieving takes time, and for each of us that time is different. You will know when suddenly a memory that brought pain,sadness and a quick tear to the eye suddenly is peaceful and brings a smile to your face as it warms the heart! Hugs Deb
