Dad

Dad passed away on September 2. He never regained consciousness and was comfortable. We're planning to have him cremated and scatter his ashes at sea on September 29. It's been difficult, but it was all the waiting that was hardest. He's not suffering anymore. This is the first time I've been through the passing of an immediate family member and I am learning it can be a complicated process. The staff at the hospital was wonderful, and the Chaplain came in and prayed with us when we took dad off the ventilator. That was comforting. My church choir has been supportive too.
