At this time last month....I was waiting for hospice to come so my dad could be released from the hospital....I spent all night at my dad's bedside....made my brother call and make his peace with my dad over the phone cause I knew he wasn't going to make it in time. It was a very long night.
I don't know how the holidays are going to be next year.....will be hard to get through next year. The first month without my dad has been hard and difficult. Does it really get easier?

One day at a time that is all you can do. I know it is hard now but it won't be this bad forever.

Shannon, Kiki gave you some wonderful advice. Just take things one day at a time. I do believe and have faith that with time, your days will get better.
I'm sure your dad really appreciated having you there with him and I'm sure it meant a lot to your dad with what happened with your brother as well. Those are wonderful gifts you gave to your dad.

Shannon, Yes it does get easier. For the longest time after my step-father died I cried all the time. There honestly is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I was closer to my step-father than my father and was there when he died too. I was not there and we did not have a funeral for my dad so there was never any goodbye or closure. I was there til my step-fathers last breath an it sucked but I would not have changed it for the world. Hang in there and remember the good times.
