This is pretty much just a rant to keep me sane. I've been sitting in the ICU wing of my local hospital for nearly 24 hours now, waiting for my father to pass away. The doctors didn't think he'd even last the night, but here I am. Since I'm next of kin and everything, I've been doing paperwork for his final wishes, stuff like that. And it sucks. In my 22 years I've never felt this lost. I suppose life goes on, and he has been sick, however last week he was apparently fine. And yesterday morning, just unconscious, etc. I know he didn't want to be kept alive by a machine, and the doctors told me there is a 0% chance of him coming out of this alive. I literally just made the decision to stop administering antibiotics, and start a morphine drip. So NS, be thankful for what you do have, because you never know about tommorow.
I'm just trying to occupy my time with anything I can. Doing some architecture work, browsing NS. I gotta start calling funeral homes and stuff like that, but I can't bring myself to that yet. It's just all so unreal.
+ vibes man, hang in there man, i lost my brother just over a month ago so i know the pain that your going through. life has its ups and downs and i know it sucks when its down but just look forward to the ups and keep strong man.
man, he just was aware for a few seconds, said my name and my brothers, and then "I'm sorry..." then passed back out.
I can't fucking handle this anymore.
1 year ago today i was watching a seahawks game and got a call that my cousin passed. 5 months ago i lost my mom to breast cancer. do whatever makes you happy, for me it was graffiti. whenever i got mad i went out and destroyed stuff. i also did a r.i.p mural for my momma.
the morphine is kicking in, he seems comfortable, doctor says he most likely wont be awake again... im just glad he's not in pain. i want this to be over.
I truly appreciate the love everyone. It's nice to know there are people who care, even if I don't know any of you. I've said my final goodbyes and such, hoping he heard them in his sedated state, but I suppose I will never know. Now it's just a depressing wait until he's gone.
i'm really sorry to hear this man.. but it sounds like youre a strong guy and you have a good head on your shoulders, put it to good use in the coming months. stay strong man
Stay strong man. I lost my dad 2yrs ago and i know it's really tough, but you'll get through it. Just try to stay as positive as possible, and stick with your friends. Having people around who care about you helps so much. +++vibes
No man, you got it all wrong. I had a father for 22 years. That doesn't suck, and I realize I'm lucky I got that. Yes, this situation sucks. A lot, and it hurts more than anything I've ever endured, but life is amazing. I'm not trying to be an asshole, I just don't like when people are negative when they have so much to be positive about. That said, thank you for the consideration and time to post, once again, it helps just knowing people out there are caring.
I have never lost someone very close to me but i have had numerous scares due to my dads health issues. I definitely don't know exactly what you are going through however i think that i have some idea. I am so sorry to hear about your father. Hang in there and keep up the positive attitude. It takes a lot to be as collect as you are about this. Vibes dude.
