Dad died last weekend, 4 yrs after his diagnosis of fronto temporal lobe dementia. While it wasn't a surprise - we were told 2 months ago that every day might be his last - it still hasn't sunk in. Feel lost knowing that I'm not able to go and visit him.

Just feeling sad. Not expecting any replies that can help me feel better, just wanting to share...

Dear embie,

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your father.

I found these words of advice that you gave another member on Talking Point in your very first post:

All you can do is appreciate your Dad while you have him. He isn't the man he used to be, but a part of him is still there.

With an attitude like that, you must have made your dad feel very loved.

Take care,

Sandy

Dear Embie, my sincere condolences to you. My thoughts are with you, having lost my mum 3 weeks ago I know the pain that not being able to visit causes you. There will be moments of great sadness and some moments of peace when you are grateful that he is no longer suffering. There is nothing that I can say to ease your suffering but wanted you to know that there are others who understand and stand with you to comfort you.

Hi Embie,
I am really sorry abot yor dad.I lost my mum almost 2 months ago, she had vascular dementia which was dianosed last june. She had to have dyalasis & died of renal faluire.
I find it hard, i think the hardest thing is not to be able to cuddle them any more.It seems like a black hole & sometimes no matter what people say to you it doesn't matter. Take care if you want too send me a pm you can.
