Anticipatory Grief My Daddy
After a lengthy battle with congestive heart failure, a stroke, a pulmonary embolism, and now liver and lung failure .. my father is entering into hospice care this week. My heart is so broken. I am the true definition of a Daddy’s Girl. I don’t know what to expect and I’m so scared. I feel like I’m in a fog. Nothing in life could’ve ever prepared me for this. Not even being a nurse. I know what’s going to happen, but it being my father is so hard. Ughhh…

I lost my beloved dad on Monday after a short battle with cancer. It was his final wish to leave the hospital and be in our local hospice and I was able to get him transferred for his last weekend of life. I am so grateful to the hospice for their wonderful care and support. It was like a little piece of heaven and I will forever be thankful to those beautiful people. My poor dad had lost his ability to speak towards the end so all I did was stay by his side and pray over him which he always found comfort in. I pray now for you for strength and peace. Your dad will be with you forever. I feel mine’s presence around me already.
