So sorry to hear about your loss, Gwen. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family; take care.
Gwen,
You have been an inspiration to me and we've missed you on this board. Now we know why.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Nothing ever prepares any of us for losing a loving a parent. Your father has always been with you and he will always BE with you. Helen Keller said it best... "What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all the we love deeply becomes a part of us."
Know that you are in our thoughts.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Gwen. I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much...the life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully. -- Seneca, On the Shortness of Life
I am so very sorry for your loss. I am sure your dad (and family) appreciated all the effort and loving care you provided. I am glad he had hospice available at the end.
Shel
