I posted this in another group and I've been very busy helping Mom and
grieving. Dad lost his battle with cancer on Father's Day. We all got
together Sunday and he actually tried to eat some, and he'd been doing
better since Mother's day. My niece got married on the 13th and he did
very well that weekend, though he got sick eating at the restaurant
breakfast bar the next morning. He had been to church that Sunday morning
on the day he died and everyone commented that he looked well. By the time
we all got together for dinner that night he felt weak and also got sick
after eating a little bit, but then he ate some dinner and some ice cream
cake for dessert. After we all left and he'd gone to bed, he woke my mom up
and was throwing up blood and she called an ambulance to take him to the
hospital. He didn't make it there.

Viewing on Friday, and funeral on Saturday. Some of the family that came
for my niece's wedding the week before are coming back for his funeral.
Some can't and that's understandable and I feel bad for them because they
want to.

My dad was a genius, seriously. He worked for 41 years for the government
for the DOD as a nuclear physicist. Mom and dad were able to travel quite
a bit after they both retired, so I'm happy that he got to have some time
to live it up before he got sick.

I am coming to this late but sending my condolences and some very loud
and rumbly from behind the toilet purrs from Sarsi (Either she purrs
louder there or it acts as an echo chamber) and some gentle twirping
and meeping from Dunzi

Thank you all for the condolences. The funeral is over and now we're on our
own. We'll try to take good care of mom because she's going to need us more
now.

there are no comforting words I could offer, but I want to let you
know, that I'm thinking of you.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Our cats send over their best purrs and I will speak a prayer for your
Dad.

Purrs from

The one thing you can do for your Mom is, if she wants, to talk about your
Dad. So many times people won't do this as they think it will upset the one
left behind.

Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear this. I still miss my parents, even though
it has been seven years since they died, about six months apart. I lost
my Mom right before Mother's Day.
