I’m so very sorry to hear that, Ví. I can’t even imagine how hard this must be for you and your family.
Always reach out if you need to talk or vent. You don’t have to do this alone, my friend.

I’m losing my Dad also to congestive heart failure. He had a double bypass to fix his clogged arteries, but the heart has been losing its beat ever so slowly. Excess weight gain, stuck in his wheelchair and my mother helping him with bathroom duties.
I understand your pain. My Dad was the leader of our family and capable of just about everything. He was a one man handyman at the house, and a truck driver and mechanic by trade. I listened to everything he said and owe him and my mom all my success.
It’s so hard seeing him in this state. I try to rationalize it away as if we are like flowers that mature into our true beauty and eventually wither away and die. It may make sense but it doesn’t make the pain go away. I tell him every chance I get that I love him.
My Dad is and has always been my anchor. I try to be strong for my kids, but warn them at the same time I’m only 20 years younger than him and there will be a day I will endure the same. They must prepare to take care of themselves.
I hope and pray I see my Dad again in the hereafter in a better state where I can have a beer with him.
You’re not alone OP.

ALS is in the process of taking my soon to be father in law he’s in hospice we really hope he sees the wedding in a few months. It’s like bizarro dementia the body goes most. Very sad and hard for everyone.

That’s honestly horrible, I’m so sorry. I know it may seem strange to write this on the forums but when we go through grief we like to find ways to vent it.
I hope that your father can have as good a quality of life that he can, and you sound like you’re doing the best you can for him. He’s very lucky to have you.
OP I’m sorry to hear that. Remember all the good times you’ve had growing up with your father and that you both love each other very much. I hope you have a solid support system going and please remember to take care of yourself.
very sorry to hear that Vi
Every life is like a shipwreck. You are now at the commands of his ship.
