Just 1 month after the diagnose (GBM)... 3 weeks after the surgery...
But it's better this way... To be in diapers and cand do ANYTHING
yourself... Just be on bed, sleep and that's everything you can do... Dad
was a strong person, he didn't need any help ever... So be on that condition
for a long time would be a WORST thing to him and on his human dignity....
I really yearn him... He was best dad that anyone could hope... This is one
more proof that there is no justice in this world....

I'm so sorry for your loss!
Words can not express the pain you feel.
As cruel as it is, be thankful it was a short wait.
And yes> there is no justice in this world....
Cry and cry...but focus on the many good memories
you have. Your Dad would like that!

Hi PL,
I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your Dad. In a way I agree with you
that it was better that way, to watch a loved one deteriorate with a GBM is
truly devestating.
You will yearn for him, you will grieve for the huge loss. It's a bit
cliche, but time is a good healer. One day memories that you recall of the
times you had with your Dad will raise smiles rather than tears.
There is no justice in this world when it comes to illnesses like this but
try to take some comfort from the years that you had together rather than
any you may miss out on.
Warm Hugs to you and your family PL
Alayne

Did anyone ever claim there was? But then again, he's gone without
having to suffer the indignities you've mentioned above, so maybe there
is some justice after all. We're all going to die one day - I can't
think of a better way than to do so quickly and relatively (note the
'relatively' - I doubt many of us will get away without pain altogether
when it comes to it) painlessly.
That said, been there, done that, cried the tears. Have some heartfelt
{{{{{hugs}}}}} from south Wales. I still want my dad after 25 years.

You may feel that there is no justice, but passing on instead of living
a life that you, yourself, said he would have hated, means that he must
have been a very special person to have been blessed so. As long as you
treasure the memories, he will always be with you.

Yes, i know... That was the only good thing in this... I just ment that
there is no justice when 65 year old man who has just retired from work
(worked since he was 14yo)... Now when there was going to be time for him
and my mom to do things they always planned... Travel, etc... So when you
think that... There is no justice.

I agree totally. I retired 2 years ago and was diagnosed last January.
It hasn't been a rose garden but they never promised in my contract!
I am very sorry about your Dad. I do understand.

I'm sorry to read your father did not get the benefit of his golden years, PL.
Hopefully he enjoyed his work.
Your news was most unexpected, but as you posted, there was no dignity in how he
was living.
I'm sure he was very proud of you and his whole family and loved you all very
much (even if he did not express it).
I've seen an expression "don't cry because it's over; smile because it
happened". Eventually you'll remember (more of) your Dad's healthier times and
smile at the memories.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.
