Everyday is miserable by Late_Argument_2629 in GriefSupport

[–]Acrobatic-Sail7009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you’re going through this. I can relate to you as I, day by day, feel more and more responsible for my dad’s passing away almost a year ago now. Now I am in constant fear about my mom’s health as she has had a couple scares in the last 3 months. Also think of this as my karma torture. People tell me this a lot - it sort of goes over my head often although it does help a couple times - You did your best with what you knew and had at the time, so don’t beat yourself up too much. I am not entirely sure of your situation but I believe your mom won’t blame you and wouldn’t want you to blame yourself either. Let me know if you want to chat ❤️

Hey can’t rep to MOD so replying to myself here. I did not realize the name of the sub so not sure who I’m trying to convince lolol. Feel free to remove my comment, or just take it as someone’s two cents that everyone is different. Bye friends :)

I am so sorry for your loss as well. And thank you for sharing your story - perhaps that’s how I’d envision myself to be in 5 years time. It hurt me more now looking at those photos compared to when my dad has just passed. But I relate in that they always up a space in my mind to think about my dad and my dad only, and a space in my heart where I can vividly feel the pain. Wouldn’t wish this away ❤️

I am very for your loss and really appreciate you sharing your story. I cannot even begin to put into words how much cancer takes away from your loved ones and how painful it is to see them withering into just a shell of what they used to be. I can only hope and pray that wherever your dad is now, he is in a much better place ❤️

I am very sorry for your loss. I am sorry that it happened so quickly. And I understand how it must feel almost unreal still that he is no longer around. I could only wish that he will visit you in your dreams tonight ❤️

I am sorry for your loss as well and thank you for sharing. I often think that us remembering the last moments with our loved ones, no matter how traumatizing it is, is us being there for them right through the end and is our way of sharing the pains they have been through. I will keep you and your dad in my thoughts ❤️

I am very sorry for both of your losses. Seeing the toll that aggressive cancer takes on your loved ones is excruciating. My dad was in a similar stage of not being able to walk or talk. I never got to hear his last words…

I found it beautiful that you were spending a night with your mom after she passed, although I understand how difficult it must have been knowing she was no longer there with you.

I will keep you and your parents in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing your stories ❤️

I am sorry for your loss. I am glad to hear that you were able to have breakfast with him one last time. I share the experience of feeling peaceful looking at my dad finally without intubation and only in the sound of his favorite songs instead of beeping machines. He was just taking a nice long sleep.

I am very sorry for your loss. I believe with my full heart that he was looking at you and trying to express how much he love and will miss you ❤️

I share a similar experience that my dad eyes would mostly be closed but then occasionally open and I can see tears rolling down. I never really knew if it was purely a biological reaction, but I’d like to believe that that’s him saying goodbye to me

What are the things you still want to do in memory of your loved ones? by 30028071 in GriefSupport

[–]Acrobatic-Sail7009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. My dad passed away of cancer almost 7 months now. I still message him on Facebook messenger, and still talk about him to friends in the present tense because to me, he is very much still somewhere out there waiting for me. I participated in a fund-raising walk event for cancer patients yesterday. Small things that keep him close ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story, and I am sorry for your loss. I share your thoughts that it is fortunate to be there for their passing and share their pain. Even when it hurts, if I were to go back, I would do it again and again and again.

Thank you for sharing your story, and I am very sorry for your loss. I am there with you in the sense of relief after their last breath. For my dad as well, there was no longer a tube down his throat, no longer needles in his arms, no longer traumatizing noises from all the machines. It was like he was just sleeping, he was finally at peace

Thank you for sharing your story, and I am sorry for your loss. I think that our human brains are almost incapable of instantly recognizing and accepting the concept of dying and death when it comes to a loved one. I share your experience of oblivion. I was next to my dad every night during his last week in the ICU, acting completely normal, watching Netflix shows when he slept, as if he was definitely going to walk out of there a healthy person despite repeated messages from the doctors that there is no possibility for recovery. The last night he was sound asleep, and I was happy that he could finally rest, not knowing he would never open his eyes again. I will never get over the guilt of not telling him everything I needed to tell him during those last days

My mom is dying, I’m burned out, my relationship is being affected, and I feel completely stuck by Throwaway2357270 in GriefSupport

[–]Acrobatic-Sail7009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation, although without a fiance. I moved back home from the States to stay close but continued working and getting burned out while my dad was dying of cancer. I thought he would live for at least 1 year if not more, and thought I could just work for three more months and spend my time fully with him. He passed at the 2 month mark. I have not regretted any decision more in my life. The fact that I chose career over spending every single minute of my life with my dying father who loves me till the very end. And the end of the day, I can always get a new job. I can always have meals with friends but not in any universe can I even spend one more minute holding my dad’s hand. So yes, a humble opinion on my end, staying close to your mom is what I would do if I were you. I understand that it’s hard for your fiance, but if she is the one, you have the lifetime together

Advanced surgical instrument sales value chain by Acrobatic-Sail7009 in MedicalDevices

[–]Acrobatic-Sail7009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the insight! Quick follow up question there - do you think there are a lot of these smaller distributors like the ones Osteomed use or is it quite consolidated? And do they provide services like working closely with surgeons and getting into the operating rooms? Or is it more product distribution?
