Mish, your story hit a note with me. My father (soon to be 88) fell in the garden about 2 yrs ago and could not get up. My brother found him there some time later, doctors could not determine afterwards if it was a stroke or not, but his strength, especially in his legs has been missing ever since. He is a shell of his former active strong self, and I fear his time with us will be limited - he could hardly get up from our couch at Thanksgiving. Thank the dear lord for the extended time he as given us to enjoy Dad. I strive to enjoy the remaining time with him, and remember the better times we had when I was a kid.

Thanks for sharing, and best wishes for you in this time of loss.

Don't beat yourself up, you coudln't have made much difference. Console your siblings especially your brother who is probaly feeling a lot of guilt for your dad's situation.

I didn't get to say goodbye to mom except for frank discussion about her advancing diabetes sitution a week before she passed suddenly.

Dad took it hard and basically packed it in. He told doctors he wanted to die, doctors told us doctor/patient confidentialty ruled, and dad told some good lies and put on big act at hospital. By the time I figured his game plan dad was in hosiptal for 5 days. Dad didn't realize how close to death until we told him he only had about 3 months to live max on day that he died. His cooperation just came a little too late to get him home to die on his own terms.

Remember the good times.

My Condolences to you MISH, and your extended Family.... big loss and unexpected, I'm so sorry.

I lost an Uncle and an Aunt in a similiar fashion and I always viewed it as the Hospital error, and it was there fault. I have heard from other sources, that Care facilities have a problem with competent help, and cover themselves by hiring 'bodies' obviously questionable competence but less expensive personnel in order to cover themselves. Then you read and hear stories about human loss, and other stories of neglect.
Broken bones in my opinion do not lend themselves to death in my view.

Mish, sorry about your loss. My thoughts are with you during this time. Take care of your family. Forget the market.

I am sorry about your loss Mish. I know how it feels to lose someone very close. My dad passed away suddenly at a young age. It is hard to overcome the sadness but I have found time heals the pain. Also my children were born soon afterwards and it filled the void. Try to remember all the good times in this time of need. May God Bless your father.

Sorry to hear of your loss. The older we get, the more precious life seems, doesn't it. I spent thanksgiving with my parents (in their 70s) and all but one of my brothers and sister. It would be hard to lose any of them. I'm always very glad we all are still "together" every time we have a little family reunion. God Bless you and your family.

Sorry to hear about your loss... I doubt this will make you feel any better, but if nothing else at least he did not suffer for too long. My father died from cancer a few years back, it was a long drawn out and miserable way to go.
