Please help understand illegible writing my dad made on his deathbed .

[kerstina]

If I posted the photos of diary entries can you help me . I have worked some of it out . Mom originally thought he took to his bed after lifting something heavy but it looks like he coughed up blood and had pain in his back .

I agree about farewell it didn't seem right for funeral not something I think he would have said . Definitely his writing is all in CAPITALs

I think it’s ‘finding many’ last sentance on first pic because there is a distinctive d in there

Finding many ills of late?

Thank you I am going to write it all out what it could be so far . Lots to think about comforting and heartbreaking at same time .

Disease rather than disagreed?

I get you wanting to know - I would too

3rd picture I can make out
“Thinking about”
And “good times”
But I can’t make out anything else

Pic 3
I Am THINKING ABOUT BORTh GOOD TIMES ON FAREWELL
( I keep looking at the ABOUT wondering if it could be my name ALISON but don't think it is )

We had lots of happy memories of being at our caravan in Borth so that would make sense

Definately it’s about not Alison sorry as it’s AB
I think it’s BR too so Brian would make more sense
Could be good times though - it’s definately good.

It’s definstely ‘good’ (tears?) ‘on’ - look at the o’s - the same in on as in good

It may say brother ? He was close to brother rather than Borth or Brian . I will look at the diary again when next at moms as ithe photo might have cut word short

Your mum would be the best person to help read it

I Don't want to upset mom . I did look at it with her she has memory loss and she didn't seem that interested . I think she might be if it has a message for her though

Thanks so much it has really helped to try and make sense this is what I have so far for pic 2
FELT REALLY ROUGH COUGHING UP BLOoD KEEPING TO BLAND FOOD CORNFLAKES. A LITTLE APPLE AND ICECrEAM. DOT LOOKING AFTER ME
LOOK AFTER HER. FOR MY LAST WISHES HERS

summer starts today I had coffee and cornflakes with lots of milk for breakfast

coughing up blood doesn't look good

I don’t think it’s BLAND, as the first letter doesn’t look like his other Bs, I think it’s L and the big circle in the middle like a Q so i think it’s LIQUID.
And I don’t see LOOK AFTER HER either at all in the last line of pic 2.

Could it be DECEMBER in the bottom line?

OP, I'm sorry about your Dad and this must have re-opened the wound.

But from a practical point of view, surely the cause of death was on the Death Certificate? Also, as his death was relatively sudden/unexpected, did they not do a Post Mortem?

I hope you get it solved and I like to think he's happily reminiscing about good times at Borth

The cause of death on certificate was the coronary heart attack he had along with multi organ failure .
I was not aware he was coughing up blood until I read the diary as as far as I knew he had taken to bed after lifting something heavy and hurting his back . Dr had visited him st home prescribed antibiotics.
He was in bed for at least a month prior to his admission to A and E .
I wished I had intervened earlier as does my Uncle but at the time I was respecting my dad's wishes . I also felt like he was giving up on life to some extent or thinking he was ill as he suffered with his mental health .As I had mentioned mom is very forgetful and I think or he may not have told her everything at the time.

He had heart attack in hospital
