We have been told today that FIL is fading away. Even I can see the difference in him, I have no doubt the doctor is right and I am glad he told us. It leaves us in no doubt where we should be now.

He is restless and has been prescribed medication to help him relax. OH is with him now, my son and I have been there most of the afternoon.

He is the saddest sight site I have ever seen in my life. He opens his eyes but I don't think he sees. I hope he knows my OH is there.

I have bought my son home and will now go back to sit with OH and FIL.

Say a prayer for him please.

Cristin, I'm sorry.

It's a hard time, but strangely, just sitting quietly holding FIL's hand is calming, and will hopefully bring you comfort afterwards.

Sending prayers for peace for you all.

Love,

Christin my prayers and thoughts are with your FIL, you and your family at this very sad time. However distant your FIL may seem I am sure he is comforted by your love, kindness and strength.

Peace be with you.

Dear Christin

I doubt any of us can prepare ourselves for this stage.
I wish you and you family strength over the coming days/weeks/months and wish comfort and peace for your FiL .
