My Dad is the kind of dad most people would wish for. He is very hard working and has been his entire life, academically he is brilliant, and he accepted my sister and I for what who we are since the beginning. He is standing beside my mother 1000%. He is at the hospital every minute of the day until they suggest he leave as she suffers from sundowning. He has put up with her nonsense for years and years. He has always been the strong one in our family and he has never been sick. Even when he is sick he won't admit it and rest. He is suffering inside. He is going to see his doctor about counselling and an antidepressant. He knows what he is going through is normal, but he "can't hold it together" as he calls it. How can you hold your life together if you are losing your best friend? For those who believe and those who don't, could you please pray for my Dad that he gets the strength to get through this? For those who are well-wishers and good thought thinkers, could you please spread love to the universe for us? Thanks you.  |

It shows how wise he is that he is seeking assistance with this very difficult time in his life. I'll be thinking of him.

Absolutely Delta Dawn. Your dad sounds a lovely, lovely man, and he must be taking your mum's illness hard. The two of you sound very close, and I know you will be a good support to each other. Hugs. |

Good for your dad for being savvy enough to know that he needs therapy and possibly meds. No one should have to go through the pain he's suffered and it's a very healthy idea to get some professional help. Your family is in my thoughts.

Yes, of course. Unfortunately, I know first hand what your family is going through but your situation sounds much more stressful. Your poor Dad. I hope the counseling is helpful.

I'm happy to send out a prayer and peaceful vibes not only to your dad, but to you and the rest of your family as well.
I'm always sad to see families going through the process of loss.
Hoping that your Dad's physician can get him on a bit better road soon, as he continues to deal with his situation.

Thinking of you, your mom and dad. My DH is my caretaker and is a wonderful and loving man like your father. He recently started therapy, and it's helped him immensely. I hope it's the same for your dad.
