I needed this today. I’m far from home sitting in a hospice room watching my dad fade away.

Thank you for the kindness 💜. He went as peacefully as could be hoped, and didn’t linger in that compromised state, which I know he would have hated. I was there for the last breath. I’ll be ok, even if I’m not now. Not my first parent loss, unfortunately. But I’m in a better headspace about this one. Actually crying it out, where I was just numb last time. The expression of grief is surprisingly cathartic.
