Dianne,
I am so sorry for your loss of your Dad. It is wonderful that we are able to spend those last final moments with our parents when they are passing, but it is still hard to accept when they are gone. I was with my father when he passed away at home from COPD. We were told he didn’t have much time, but it was hard to accept since he didn’t “look” ill (except for the oxygen he “wore” all the time).
My thoughts and prayers go out to you in your time of grief. I pray that you will be able to get by better and better each day.

I am so sorry for your loss. As a patient, I can only hope that I can go as peacefully and surrounded by loved ones as your father did. I will keep your family in my thoughts.Kris
Dearest Dianne, we are so very sorry to hear of your Dad’s Passing. He fought a good fight and was lucky and I am sure, proud to have you by his side through this journey.
I feel my dad around me and I am sure in time you will also feel your dad all around you and guiding you. Please accept our sincerest Prayers.Dear Dianne,
I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your dad, please accept my sincere condolonces. I know the pain that you are feeling right now in losing your dad, as I recently lost my dad to CC. As of last Thursday, it was 6 months since my dad left me.
I am glad to hear that your dad’s passing was peaceful, mine’s was peaceful as well. But like you, it was still hard to watch my dad leave me. Please know that we are all here for you and we know what you are going through right now.
My thoughts are with you and your family,

Dear Dianne,
I am sending you my sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved Dad….
Words alone cannot begin to describe how you must be feeling but please take comfort from being with your Dad as he took his last breathe in this world.
In 2 weeks time it will be a year since I was where you are now, holding my darling Dad’s hand and telling him how much he was loved as he too succumbed to cc.
I will be thinking of you and your family in the days and weeks to come.
Sending comfort and strength,
Katie
It is with profound sadness that I have to say these words… that my Daddy has past away.
Late Sunday evening the hospital called to tell me that my Dad’s breathing was worse, very laboured and he was unresponsive. My husband and I arrived around 10:30pm and saw for our selves how may Dad’s condition had worsened since we left at 6pm. The nurses prepared a private room for us, so that we could come and go as we please and as the hours went by the nurse give Dad morphine and ativan. Around 2:30am we began to notice dad’s breathing became more shallow, with long pauses, then the pauses became longer and longer, until he just stopped breathing… and he was gone… it was so peaceful and yet so hard to see my Dad leave us…
I want to tell you all, how much I appreciate the support and knowledge past to me by everyone on this site. I became known as “Dr. Horvath” thanks to you, able to understand better what the Dr’s and nurses where telling me about CC and Dad’s symptoms.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone.
Dianne
