So sorry to hear this, OP. Flowers

I’m sorry OP. Flowers

If your family are unable to visit him, the staff will make sure he is not alone and will be with him holding his hand. I know it’s not ideal, but I hope it gives some comfort if no one is able to visit.

I have Covid so I can't go and see him. He is sedated so can't talk to him.

I am so sorry @TotallyX. Please take care of yourself as well and phone in if you'd like to speak to him. Surely s nurse could take a phone to him for a final chatSad.

I’m so sorry. My father was on a syringe driver when he died. I was with him and is was so very peaceful. Whilst this doesn’t help you now, I hope that in the future you can take some comfort from the fact he wasn’t struggling.
