fishymom, my dad also died a week or so ago. This was exactly how things went for him and we didn’t know either. I think it might have been even harder for my mom if she realized what was happening.

I just want you to know that someone else went through exactly what you are going through. I am so happy I was able to spend time with him right before and even if I was nagging, I was still there. My sister was not able to get time off work and did not recognize what was going on and she missed him. I am so sad for her.

This is more painful to write than I thought. It’s just very raw right now. But as my mom says, she won’t wish him back how he was.
