I realise I may be, or perhaps selfish.
DH's dad is dying, he has 'days' to live. His condition unfortunately means that his death isn't going to be pretty.
DH is understandably distraught - he lost his mum 6 months ago and although his dad has lived for a long time with a terminal illness, the speed of his decline has come as a shock.
The plan is for him to die at home with DH and (daytime) hospice care staff looking after him.
DH says he would like me to go down there and stay too with DS and DD (4 and 3) and I really don't want to. There's not really anywhere for the kids to sleep, I am pregnant and knackered and it just feels wrong, I don't want them to be around it all really. DH thinks it will be nice as he lives by the sea etc but it just seems macabre to me.
Is this just one of those things that HAS to be done?
