My dad has been end stage heart failure for a while (he defies the doctors!). Things have been the worst they have been, he is not well and in pain (has morphine at home)
He told me he is being registered with the hospice today to enable him to have diamorphine.
It all seems too real, I am scared, confused and sad. All I can imagine is telling my two boys (6, and 3 and worship him, see him most days) he has died and that's awful as he's still alive. I have no idea how long he will go on. Its been a rollercoaster for years.
My DH is no use, he has never lost anyone, has both parents and grandparents. He can't find the words to comfort me so said very little and I am so cross (possibly unfairly)
I feel lost and just wanted to 'tell' someone, even if it is a bunch of strangers on line.
