And the not so awesome

Mrs.Thistletwat

This weekend mom and I are making the "he's not going to get any better" phone calls to family. Chances of Dad getting another liver are slim to none and better to prepare the family.

I'm really trying not to mourn and grieve him while he's still alive but it's getting harder. He's fading so quickly.

Keep your head up TT.

So sorry.  I was just thinking about you and your family this morning.  Sending vibes for peace and strength.  I went through a long term hospitalization/decline with my mom before she passed away, so if you ever want to vent off board to me, feel free.

Oh TT.  It's so, so hard to come to that realization.  I spent the last year or so of Anna's life trying not to eulogize her in my head or out loud. ::hugs::

There is no time frame for this and who knows? A miracle could happen. But we're just getting ourselves ready.

The other night I was talking to H about it and it dawned on me that my husband never got to actually meet my dad. He's only know the man since just before his first transplant. H has never seen the athletic, intelligent, active, amazing man that my dad was. And it broke my heart. I really wish H could have known my dad the way he was before he got sick.

Oh TT I'm so sorry. I really do hope he gets a transplant. If you need to vent, you can call me.

I know - this is something you never think about in the grieving process.  I was in a long term relationship while my mom was sick, then we split a year after she died.  One day it dawned on my that anyone I was with from here out would never know my mom and it made me so sad.

So sorry about what you and your family are going through.  I hope that you can find strength and comfort in your family and friends during this difficult time.  It's okay to start mourning whenever your heart feels like its time and it's okay to mourn in whatever "fashion" feels right to you.
