Dad died last night

in Supporting Those Who Have Lost Someone

I’m grieving hard today after four days of seeing my dad actively dying from vascular dementia. His decline came on suddenly after a series of mini strokes and a fall. It was rough. I’m exhausted from crying and staying up with him. I miss him so much and trying to adjust to this new reality. I told him I loved him several times a day and thanked him for being the best dad. He’s at peace now.

    You and your family are in my thoughts. I'm glad you were able to be together. And yes, he's at peace now. Take care of yourself, Sarah.
