Please, if you can, get a video message to him. Ask a nurse for a call with him so he can listen to you xx

I'm so sorry OP Sadwhy don't you ask if one of the nurses will hold the phone to his ear so that you can say goodbye? I know he is sedated but he will hear you. We did the same through my DF's bedroom window and it brought a little comfort ThanksThanks

girlcrushonvillanelle · 27/12/2020 19:28

Sending hugs. Yes, how about a video message played to him even though he is sedated. Say whatever you want to say.

Sending you a hand hold too. We are here with you. X

I'm so sorry to hear this. Would you like to tell us about your dad if it would help to talk? I lost my dad in 2012 and want to offer a hand hold. I hope you have someone in real life to support you Thanks

Frouby · 27/12/2020 19:33

So very sorry OP, we were there with fil in april, it's fucking awful. Phone and ask to speak to him on the phone or via facetime or something, they will let you and he won't be alone x

Flossie44 · 27/12/2020 19:33

Oh I’m so sorry. I hope you can get a message to him. But even if you don’t, he knows you love him, and he will be comforted by that.
Sending you hugs x

Poppinjay · 27/12/2020 19:33

So sorry you're going through this.

Call the ward and ask them to put the phone by him so you can tell him the things you want him to hear.

Even if he can't respond, there's a chance he will hear you and find comfort in your voice.
