This Is Julie H. Well my dad finally passed. The hospice nurse said he went quietly in his sleep. He was waiting for all his family to be there. Now I am saddened more. My mom and brother are having a very hard time with this. I know that he is in a better place now. But it hurts really bad. I am having a hard tome dealing with this myself. The doctor gave me xanax and ambien to help me sleep. His viewing is Sunday and his funeral is Monday. How long can a person grieve? Thank you Nancy for responding to me. It was nice to have someone to talk to.
