I am so sorry. No daughter should have to make these decisions for their parents. But it is on you so just do what you think he would want and what helps you to feel okay about it. Don't beat yourself up for any decisions you make and don't be afraid to sit in a corner and cry sometimes (or whatever else you need to do emotionally) because that's just what you need to do once in awhile. Big hugs and a shoulder to cry on anytime you need it. You and your family are in my prayers.

We went through just about the same thing with Jay's grandfather between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's so hard to know what to do. I pray that you and your family and your dad's medical team find peace in making the decisions to come. I feel for you and will continue to lift you up in prayer. Anything, anything at all - let me know!

I made the decision to turn off the ventilator last night. He was able to breathe on his own for about an hour and a half and passed around 7:30... it was the most awful experience of my life and I feel not only grief-stricken because he's gone, but like I personally killed him...

Oh, Sandra. I'm so sorry! But you should *not* feel responsible. It sounds like his passing was inevitable, and all you did was spare him continued suffering. *hugs* My prayers are with you and your family in your loss.

Oh Sandra. I am so, so very sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through right now, and what any of us can say to ease your pain. Just know that your dad is without pain.

Sandra- I can only add onto what everyone else has said. You did what was best for him, and I am so sorry that decision has to hurt you so badly.

Oh Sandra. I am so sorry. I know that nothing I can say right now will take away your feelings of guilt (even though I do believe you did the right thing) so, please just know that I love you and you have a whole lot of people who love you and are here to support you.

Oh, sandra. Again this is a situation where there are no words that will make you feel better. Bt like everyone else has said this was not your fault. You did what you had to do and gave yourself and your family some time to hold his hand and let him go out knowing that you love him. There are no great words of understanding as to why people are taken from us when they are. I am sure that he left you knowing how much you love and care for him and never thought that you killed him. That is not the case. His body was just not able to withstand any more life and God was ready for him to be with him. My heart aches for the pain and decisions you have had to make that no person should ever have to endure. Please keep us updated on everything. Lots of love.

((Sandra, hugs)) May you find comfort knowing that your daddy is no longer hurting and is in a better place. What you had to do, no child should have to do. I am so sorry.
