Sending you hugs and strength, I remember those feelings and worries and am sorry you going through them too. I don't think my mum was or your dad is probably not thinking of drinking and eating now. My mum got a bit agitated and restless in the last few days which is a sign of end of life, the nurse at CH gave mum something for it by injection along with morphine a few times when she was in pain in the last few days so don't be afraid to ask CH staff about it if you think your dad is in pain or agitated for a long time. I hope you get to be with your dad and I hope it's when you are visiting rather than a rush in from a call, but please don't be upset if you miss it, the CH staff told me that happens a lot and sometimes it's they way they want it and you have done as much as you can for your dad and he knows you love him. . ? ? ? ?
