Sorry to hear about your father, kal. Hospices are wonderful places, imo. I realise this sounds strange, but I’ve never been anywhere else where everybody works with such a shared belief in what they’re doing, and be so focused on the wellbeing of their patients. There’s always all kinds of mixed emotions, like you say. But if there’s one thing I know, if he’s in a hospice, he’s getting the best care he can.
Felt the same when my mum was on an end of life ward. Never known such kindness, to mum and the rest of us. Truly humbling.

Also sorry to hear this kal. Like chopsen said, if it has to go this way, he’s in the best place he can be right now.

Spent most of the afternoon at the hospice sitting with him. The hospice was a surprisingly pleasant place to be. Very different vibe to a hospital. It was peaceful and calm and everyone there is extremely kind. It seemed to instantly change my dad’s attitude as well. He’s really been in denial about coming to the end of his life, and very bad tempered about it (understandably). But today he just seemed calm and more accepting. Even though it’s all horribly sad weirdly today was somehow quite a good day.

Weirdly that's just how my mum was, I couldn't put it better myself, you pretty much described exactly how she was, it was so comforting towards the end. It was so fast for her that she ended up with palliative care in the hospital rather than a hospice but the staff there were also amazing.

The care my mum got while in the hospice was just incredible. For me being in another country to her at the time I obviously had a hard time dealing with it, but it was just so reassuring knowing that she was getting the best care possible. Everybody there was so lovely, I just couldn't fault them. If I ever come into decent money I'll donate a chunk to them as a priority.
My thoughts are with you kal and FE family.

Sorry to hear the news, Kal & Jon. Thinking of you & your families.
My wife never made it to hospice care, that was the next step in her end of life plan but she rocketed downhill too quickly. She was quite looking forward to it, though, in a strange way, as they seem such calm and gentle places as compared to the chaos you can get in a hospital. Hope his remaining time continues to be peaceful
Fchuta indeed…

My condolences to JonFE and Jr, forgot to mention it in my previous post. My dad passed away on jan 2nd three years ago now, makes the end of year festivities a bit of a two sided thing, but he didn’t choose for things to go this way. None of us do right? Still thinking about you too kal, hoping you get a bunch of good, peaceful days, but don’t forget to take care of yourself too.

My dad passed today. I’ll spare you the cliches but they’re all true.
Pretty much the last thing I said to him was that Arsenal lost which felt fitting.
