The impending loss of a parent is hard under the best of circumstances. You are wise for giving yourself the grace to just feel and be and ride this wave. My heart goes out to you.Chris Margocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261261993571716230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728867573837168357.post-6402907986074000782020-08-06T07:20:36.685-07:002020-08-06T07:20:36.685-07:00Maureen, this is so hard!

It was a major cause of a depression that lasted several weeks. None of this seems fair and I can only hold you and your family in my prayers and send good thoughts your way.

I am so sorry about these heartbreaking circumstances, and am moved by the way you find threads of goodness to hold to - "Hospice is so beautiful at this." They really are ministering angels at the hardest of times. Praying peace and relief to your dear father, strength to you and your family - and thank heaven for Zoom.

I don't have any words to ease your pain, but I will be thinking about you, your father and your family often.
