I just got back from going to see my Dad. I had to get hospice out to his place and he is on borrowed time. I will be spending time driving back and forth from Georgia to South Carolina until things run their course. I know that none of you know me or my Dad but if could send up a prayer or thought, I would appreciate it. Thank you all.

I know what your going through RG, Kimmie's dad went through the the same thing. Only blessing for Kimmie was we live two doors down from where he was the entire time so she spent days with him and at a time and that was really good for her.
We'll keep you guys in our prayers for sure, just know WHO is in charge and HE knows best.
Peace to you and you family

I lost both of my parents 74 days apart back in 2014 and I am still not over that.
Wendy and I are sending you prayers and wishes.
Wendy used to be a hospice nurse.
Hospice nurses are like living angels.
Your Dad will feel no more pain.
-
Praying for strength and love inside your family.

Prayers being sent. I lost my dad back in August. Even though he was there for less than a full day, Hospice did a great job for my dad and for making my family comfortable in that troubling time.

RG, I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Prayers sent from the west coast my friend.

Prayers being sent from just round the corner in GA. I lost both my parents 6 months apart in 2007/2008. It is a very tough thing to deal with, but sadly we all grow older and time catches up with us (some just too soon).

Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts, I greatly appreciate it. I have a long road to travel yet, getting financial things sorted out, being executor for his will and having power of attorney is a daunting task. Dealing with the inevitable isn't a joy either but it's something he has entrusted me with. I'll get through it but it like him, I will have good days and bad days throughout, until it's over.
-
Absolutely, Brother! Prayers being sent!
-
Praying for you and your family, RG.
-
Sending PM on GA wills.

This is why I enjoy BBQ folks, always the warmest people you'll find. Again, thank you all.

You have my prayers.

Prayers from my family to yours . Keep it together rg

Thanks to you all. The power of prayer is real and greatly appreciated. I've been handling some of his business in one way or another pretty much daily. It's a tedious process but with the prayers you've sent, God is giving me strength to do what I am asked to do.

My Dad passed away early this morning. He is in a better place, reunited with my Mother I hope. Thanks again to you all for your well wishes.

Very sorry to hear this! Praying for you and yours.

Continues prayers for you and your family after the loss.
-
We are so sorry to hear about your loss.
Your father is in a better place.
Now your parents can watch as your journey continues until you are all reunited again.
I lost both my parents within a short time period back in 2014 and I still have not recovered.
Stay strong brother.
-
So sorry to hear this. But he is at rest in a better place. Always remember the good times and know that he will always be with you.

Jason I am so sorry for you & your family. He is in a better place & will be at peace now with no suffering. God bless you & your family
-
Praying, still, for you and your family!

My sympathies for you and the family RG. I hope you can find some rest and peace in the process that you now deal with.

I just lost my dad back in August, so I have a good idea of what you're feeling and going through. My prayers for you and your family continue though this emotional and stressful period. My dad and I were real close, and hardly a day that goes by that I don't see or hear something that we would've talked about. I know that I won't get to have those conversations again. But I also know that he's looking down. One of my nieces just got married yesterday, and I know that he was there.

Jason, so sorry for your loss. My sympathies for you and your family.

Thanks Y'all! I know I'm not the first to go through this. We've all had deaths of loved ones and one day we'll be the one that is missed. It's all part of life. I am trying to keep myself distracted enough to process what lies ahead. I have work to do, a house to clean out, handle his accounts all while dealing with 3 siblings (1 that doesn't care about any of it, one that doesn't care about anything but getting his paws on material things/money and then my angel of a sister whose help in all of this has been immeasurable. Once it all gets finalized, I'll have time to really reflect on it all and at that time, I can promise you, I'll be a total wreck.

My dad died suddenly when I was 25. Which is now 25 years ago. It's never easy, but I miss what could have been but I trust God's plan

I am just about done with my dad's affairs. Closing accounts, distributing death certifications, calling SSA and his Central States pension and stopping payments, calling and mailing all 3 credit bureaus, so forth and so on. It has been a mountain of stuff to go through. Today's task was to go into a Wells Fargo branch to secure his account from online access from someone other than myself (namely his ex-wife who I know has access). Her gravy train has left the station. I think SHE may be the most devastated by his death. She had been mooching off him for the last 5-6 years. I hate to sound so mean and angry but having her 4-runner repossessed made me a little happy and tingly inside, lol. She coerced him into buying that for her the middle of last year and he had been paying $667.00 a month on it AND paying the insurance!
I also had to undo a deal where he went THE VERY WEEK we discovered he needed in home hospice care and bought her a pull behind travel trailer/camper! I had the deal nullified and his $3000.00 deposit refunded. The check came in yesterday and now it's back in mine/his account. I find it shocking that people will leech off somebody, even when they know that the person is in bad shape. In this case, on his death bed. God sees it and will deal accordingly.
I have MUCH more I could tell but it would make Jerry Springer seem tame, lol.
I have to go back this weekend to get the remainder of his tools, provided the lock has not been broken off his outbuilding. I am sorry for airing this out on a public forum but my family network is way fractured and I appreciate you guys being the sounding board of sorts :)
-
It's all good buddy. I consider a lot of the ppl on this forum friends and family because we have known each other for along time.
-
I know RG I am still dealing with my Aunts estate 16 months later. No help from my family except my wonderful wife.
-
Not to worry, Jason. This is one of the most supportive places you can go. Many of us have been through what you are going through right now, both the emotional loss and dealing with the survivors in their various forms and flavors. I still miss my dad almost every single day, but it does get easier as time goes by.
