Dad dying

[helpingmyself]

My poor dad has been sectioned in hospital for 3 months .. they think it's dementia he won't tollorate the tests can't put him to sleep as his heart to weak .. I got phone call last night to say come now he was in the emergency bit .. he won't eat or drink he's 6.5stone .. I saw him from behind the screen ( he has covid to ) .. it's was the worst most frightening thing Iv ever seen he was like a skeleton, and he was trying to pull everything out I couldn't go to him I watched and was heartbroken.. when he went into hospital he was physically v well just his mental state now he's gone completely.. he looked so scared & I can't do anything .. it's just so sad .. he got through the night but doc says he may not have long .. he was my big strong dad my hero now he's a frail scared man that I can't help .. I am watching him die

I’m so sorry OP, seeing a parent deteriorated like this is just devastating. Try to take some comfort, if you can, in the fact that he is being well looked after. Do you have someone nearby to support you in real life?

So sorry to hear this OP. Terrible to lose a parent, and in these circumstances, even worse

Op I'm so sorry, I've watched my big strong dad waste away into a delicate, brave, frightened man before he died and it's heartbreaking

Thank u for all the lovely messages .. it's horrible knowing it's out of my hands .. I have good support from friends , boyfriend.. my bro has ptsd.. he can't leave his house but does all he can to help .. it's all the legal stuff to he was selling his house as my step mum left .. he had bought a flat all that fell apart when he was sectioned.. no power of attorney.. we applied for guard ship but can take up to a year .. dealing with that has been hard .. but I always had glimmer of hope he would get better & have some sort of life now that is slipping away to .. he fought cancer 3 years ago & came out other end .. I wouldn't wish this on anyone 😔

Feel awful for you. It's absolutely awful. Hope you can take care of yourself by switching off from it at times. I expect that's what he'd want you to do

My lovely dad has passed away now .. this whole thing has been the saddest thing Iv ever had to watch unfold in front of my eyes .. mental illness whatever form is real and watching a loved one change so drastically is heartbreaking.. my dad was was hero I will miss him but I'm hoping he's at peace and with my mum now 😞

I'm so sorry for your loss I'm sure he's now with your mum

Oh love I am SO sorry. That's a dreadful way to have lost your lovely Dad.

I'm not at all religious, but I choose to believe there's a life after this where we are with our loved ones again, so I choose to believe your parents are together again.

Look after yourself xx

I’m so sorry @helpingmyself You sound like a lovely daughter and I’m sore your dad was so proud of you. Please give yourself lots of time and space to grieve. In time the good memories will drown out the pain of the past few weeks
