Hi all,
Thank you once again for your prayers and thoughts, my Dad is still hanging on in there but continuing to decline in health. He has lost so much weight now he is like a skeleton compared to what he was a few weeks ago. We are awaiting more test results tonight.
Love

I'm so sorry, crabby, that I missed this when you first posted. I went through the same waiting with both my parents. It's hard on everyone. My mother went first - she too had senile dementia like your own - and she hung on in a coma for an incredible three weeks. I remember sitting with her and doing my best to do a Buddhist meditation to ask her to let go and go into the light. As I whispered this to her, I got a real wave of 'something' from her which told me, without words but in no uncertain terms, 'I'll go when I'm bloody well ready!' This was so very much my Mum I just had to laugh.
Years later, my Dad aged 94 and still in possession of all his faculties but physically frail, suffered a stroke. Neither my brother nor myself expected him to leave hospital but leave he did and spent another month at home before a final stroke took him back to hospital where he left his body peacefully a few days later.
What I was told, and what turned out to be true in both my parents' cases, was that sometimes parents wait till they are alone rather than passing on in their children's presence. So, your father may just slip peacefully away. No more pain, no more suffering....only good things ahead. Meanwhile, you just have to hang on in there. It's sad but in the end all shall be well....
Sending lots of love and prayers
Sunanda xxxx
