It is reassuring to know he passed quickly- my mother died on Thursday and I truly wish it had been swift, but sadly not. You will never have to wonder if you father was in pain and you should take comfort from that.

Take care of yourself and allow yourself plenty of time to grieve.

Thank you and yes I do take comfort from it. I am sorry to hear also of your mothers passing and I hope that the end, as hard as it is, brings you some sense of relief that she is now at peace. Big hugs. xxx

To be honest, even if you'd have lived next door, you wouldn't have had the chance to say what you wanted to say because of the circumstances. I was with my dad the night before he died. There was so much I felt I hadn't said the following morning but no one says them because they don't believe, or want to believe they won't have another chance. Don't beat yourself up over living your life, and don't feel guilt. Take care.
