Hi I am new to this part of the talking point. Dad passed away on june 12th, everything to every one else I seem to have returned to normal. I am back out work, been out to join in social occassions...BUT... I still cant come to terms with his ending, and wonder if he knew the pain that must have racked his body.
To re-cap he was in hopsital for a month S/W and health staff felt due to his poor mobilty & the progression of his dementia he would be better of in care home. he was there 10 days..fell against a radiator and broke his jaw...had surgery...returned to home...followed by a further two admissions before they realized that he had internal bleeding which lead to his passing. I can still still his frail, thin body in that hospital bed, no reaction from him for 7 days before he went. I held his hand most of the time and still wish I could feel his hand in mine just one more time.
