Not good news for My Dad....

Todd: Having been through this more than once just recently, it's not an easy thing. Spend time with him to make sure his final wishes are honored. Get signatures where applicable to make sure his wife or designated person has all the legal power required and has clear title to everything. It's a difficult time, but preparation can actually make it easier. It will help your father know that things are being handled.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Yeah, it was hard but I'm glad that happened.

Thanks Jim
It's my Mom, I'll have to ask her if all of that is already done.
 
Wow, Todd sorry to hear that. I lost my Grandfather "Pa" to brain tumors 20 years ago. It is a difficult thing to see happen to someone so close. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Todd - my thoughts are with you and your families...hang in there. Is hospice care an option? They have really helped many of my friends and family members.

Yeah to watch my Papa die from Lymphoma was hard too. That was Sept. '95 and he was 75. It's hard to believe only 13 years later and only 2 years after my Dad retired, he's knocking at the door.

Yes, hospice will be part of this next phase. We'll hopefully find out more today or tomorrow what, when where and how.
 
Having lost a father too young to a similar illness my only words to you would be "be with him". Regardless if you're certain he can tell you are there or not, be there anyway. It's as important a time as all the happy events you've shared together. If only to talk to him or hold his hand while he reaches lifes final milestone. Don't regret not being there..
 
Todd, My prayers to you, your Mom, and your family. Having read this again has brought back some painful memories. I went through the same thing a little over 3 years ago. I remember my father saying that hospice was "God's waiting room." I was very thankful that we all got to say good bye (among other things). There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. Just know that in time the sorrow lessens and is replaced with the fond memories that you have shared together. I'll be thinking of you guys. Sincerely, Brian
 
Todd,

Now is the time to make the best of the time that you have ledt with your dad. I was able to spend the final 3 weeks with my dad 5 years ago. It was hard but I was able to say "Good by" and know that he died in peace. I will be praying for you and your family, it is not an easy time but from this we can grow.

Mike
 
Todd, my family and I will certainly keep you in our thoughts and prayers. The memories you have created throughout your lives together will be priceless.
 
I'm so sorry to read the news about your Dad. My next door neighbor of 12 years is terminal. He's weakening from his prime as an aircraft carrier commander daily. That's been hard enough, but we've also recently learned of another condition in our immediate family that I'm not ready to talk about. I truly understand how you feel.
 
Sorry, best to you and your family.
 
Hello Todd,

I hope you can be strong for the coming very difficult time.
Also our thoughts are with you and your families.

Peter
 
Todd, I am so sorry to hear this, I have lost both of my parents, it is not an easy thing but you can get through it. You and yours will be in my thought and prayers. There are no words for this time.
 
Not much I can add to what has already been said. Your family and your Dad will be well served by the Hospice caretakers. Our family went thru that with my father. Thoughts and prayers buddy.
 
Hi Todd, Glad your Dad made it to a new year.

There is an organization in WI that you might want to look at:

Cancer sucks. I lost my Dad, Mom, Father-in-Law, and an Aunt to cancer. I am a 10+ year Cancer Survivor myself.
