my dad

Badger, I am very sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is among the hardest experiences we go through.

So sorry for your loss. Words seem so inadequate... You and your family are in my thoughts.

Oh Badger, I'm sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine how you must feel. My thoughts are with you all.

I am so sorry Badger. I hope you and your family can find inner strength and help each other through this difficult time.

(((Badger))) I am sorry for the tough loss but it sounds like he was able to go peacefully on his terms and knew those he loved the most were there for him. Take care of your mom, your family and yourself.

Oh badger, my deepest sympathy for you and your family. Continued prayers for support and strength.

I am sorry to read this Badger... My thoughts go your way and that of your family. May you all find the strength to go through these difficult times...

Badger, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Sarah

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

It's happened so very quickly, he was fine Wednesday morning and by Thursday morning he couldn't walk and had difficulty breathing. And now his kidneys have shut down so there's nothing more they can do for him other than to keep him comfortable.

He has a chronic condition that has no cure, but it's taken us all by surprise at how quickly it has come to this point.

The nurses have been amazing, they really are earthbound angels.

I'm so glad that in this difficult time, the nurses made it easier on your whole family. I've sat in on many of those family meetings as an ICU nurse, and they're always hard, but it's our hope that we made the experience as peaceful as possible for the family. Some of the most rewarding moments of my life have involved making a patient comfortable as they pass away, surrounded by family. I'm so sorry for your loss, but thankful that your father remained comfortable. Take care of yourself.
