In reply to Just another dad story..., posted by shar on November 25, 2003, at 21:22:35
Shar, thanks for your Dad story. That sounds really hard; living in another country and seeing your dad like that. Someone I dearly loved died of brain tumors too. It's shocking when it's someone close and you are so young. My heart goes out to you.
I think it's wonderful you do hospice. I was tempted to work in hospice, I may still. My whole life has revolved around death. I have been fascinated with this (what I used to call the last struggle that we don't win) final exit in our lives. The fact that no one escapes this exit is so remarkable. My Dad was always terrified of death and he lived to be 91. He loved life more than I could ever imagine.
