My dad is dying
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 29th, 2026 2:26 PM Author: Histrionic erotic chapel windowlicker He just turned 88, has CLL. He couldn't take chemo so they have been keeping him alive with blood transfusions but his last one was a month ago and they told him no more. After his last blood test 2.5 weeks ago they gave him 3 weeks to live.
I flew out to see him last week, canceled all my hearings and trials, spent a good five days with him.
What really sucks is that his mind is still there and he was able to stand up and walk on his own, but he has his oxygen he has to carry around everywhere.
I took him to Walmart every day. Every day he needed something. One day it was double sided tape. Another day it was tie-downs.
I heard him telling his friend on the phone he can't stop thinking about dying. My mom says he has constant panic attacks now, nightmares about dying, its all he thinks about.
He won't even take my calls anymore because he's going over the cliff and he knows it.
The last time I Facetimed him I could see death in his eyes and watching him crawl into his bed at night was like watching him crawl into his coffin.
Carpe diem brothers. One day we will all be there. |

Re the needing something from the store everyday, my grandmother did the same with my dad before she died. I don’t know what it is psychologically that causes that. |

Date: September 29th, 2026 2:35 PM Author: Histrionic erotic chapel windowlicker Thanks, bro. For my dad, he's never been able to sit still. He's always been super active so even though he wouldn't admit it, he just wanted to get out and pretend everything was normal.

if there's a silver lining here, it's that you got to spend time with him before he goes. i got a call one saturday morning in 2016 from my dad's phone. i picked it up ready to shoot the shit (in sign language lmao), but i was looking at a doctor with a facemask telling me my dad died in the hospital from a heart attack. definitely wasn't expecting that. |

one piece of advice, if you want it:
get at least one conversation where you talk to him as directly as you would a child - you were a great dad - i learned how to be a man from you - you did it, dad. you accomplished everything. you can rest now. |

Drop me a line if you want to talk about any of it or need to take your mind off of it. Lost my mother 10 years ago to cancer. My father had cancer twice, has Parkinson's, now has dementia and declining at an astonishing rate.
I'm currently caring for my father-in-law, who also has Parkinson's and early dementia.
