we sat with him all night at the hospital,he was in so much pain,and he faced his illness with great humour,bravery and dignity...he laughed and joked through his illness and we all cried our way through it,never in front of him,we were all there for him as he drew his final breath at 7.23 this morning.....life will never be quite the same....

You truly have my deepest sympathies.

I hope the memories of your time with him give you some comfort and that you being with him at the time gives you strength to know he was surrounded by those he loved at his last.

So sorry for your loss, stoke.

Stoke, I really feel for you. I have been through the same so I understand how you feel. As others say try to think of the good times and its amazing how much it helps, but you have to go through very difficult days too. I always feel proud to think that there is so much of my Dad in me, a lot of qualities (good or bad!) but I know where they are from. Hopefully you have good family and friends around you. You will take it in turns to be strong for each other. Take care.

Deepest sympathy on your sad loss. You were with your father to the end so he passed away with dignity and with his loved ones around him.

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
