Hi PW, Sorry to hear your son is having a particularly hard time at the moment. I am a little older than your son, i am 26 and went back to work quite quickly after my Dad dying, i plodded a long not too badly at work for a few months, in fact i think the distraction was very helpful at the time, th...

Tony, I am so shocked and saddened to come here today and read the very sad news that Ruth has passed away. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Thank you Jeni, Sandra and Ruth. You are so right Sandra, we really must cherish the memories of our loved ones and nothing can take those wonderful memories away. I know what you mean about time flying, I can't believe it is coming up to 2 years since you lost your wonderful Trevor and I think you'...

In loving memory of my amazing and brave Daddy, he will always be my hero. Today marks a year since my Dad passed away. Though I feel such sadness when I think about my Dad and that he is gone I also fill with so much pride thinking of my Dad, not just for his positivity and determination throughout...

Hi PW, As others have said the right decision will be different for different people. Like with you, my Mum, my sister and i all said our good byes on the day my Dad died and spent time with him after he had passed at the hospice. My sister and i were so torn about whether to go see him at the funer...

First birthday without my Dad today, he would have been 62 today. My Mum, my sister, my partner and my aunti and uncle and i are going out to one of my Dad's favourite restaurants in memory of him and as hard as it is to hopefully share some of our lovely memories of which I am so grateful to have s...

Dear PW, I am so very sorry to hear this. I am so sorry, absolutely devastating for you, you have been an incredible support to your husband and it is clear how proud you are of the way he faced his illness. I wish you strength and send love your way for the difficult times ahead. Thinking of you, P...

Hi PW, I just wanted to add our experience with my Dad not receiving any fluids, he survived 2 weeks after they stopped all fluids, I had assumed he would not be able to live that long without fluids but the doctor explained that as my Dad was sleeping a lot of the time that he body needs less to li...

Hi PW, I am so sorry to hear how bad things are, no matter how much you try and prepare yourself it is still so hard to accept what is happening and especially when things seem to suddenly start to go on a downward spiral. In terms of infection, this alone can make someone very ill and out of it, es...

Hi PW, You must have posted as I was typing, so glad to hear you have been able to get some rest. I think we all function better when rested, it is a hard enough situation to be in even in the most rested state.

I am thinking of you at this unbearably difficult time. I can only reiterate what others have said, it is such a personal decision and I am sure what ever you decide will be the right one for you and your husband. With my Dad when he was in hospital we all thought he would be coming home for pretty ...

Hi Ruth,

Absolutely incredible news! So pleased for you, it sounds as though things couldn't have gone better.

Thinking of you,

How awful PW, nothing I can say to make this better, I am thinking of you. Xx
