My father has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease and is going to have hospice care visits at home. He's been ready to meet his Maker for a couple of years - but please pray for him and his family.

It isn’t easy when you lose your parents, my heart felt sympathy is with you. Will pray for your father.

My mom was in such good hands with hospice care. We were too. Those folks really knew how to make her comfortable; the doc communicated with me daily, by email, and was available for questions day and night. The nurses were amazing. Your dad is in good hands, and hospice will be a blessing to you too in this transition.

Prayers for your Father and family are on the way.



Be strong and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the LORD, your God, who marches with you; He will never fail you or forsake you.

Deuteronomy 31:6

I spent the last several years, up till June 19th, helping to take care of my grandmother. It’s often hard, but worthwhile and my proverbial hat’s off to those who take care of their family.

Best wishes and prayers to you and your family.

One idea I wish I had much earlier was to have my grandmother record a video of herself telling herself to take her medicine ... as I figure she’d believe Betty even when her condition had her doubting us.

Good luck and God Bless.

Hospice is great. My sister had it in Florida at age 85. She lived 2 1/2 more years after Hospice first came in!

Hope your Dad does as well.

Thank you. It’s tough to lose your parents even when they’ve lived a long life. Bless you!

I hope his Hospice people are as wonderful as those who attended my FIL and MIL (she just passed two weeks ago). They are angels, perhaps literally, and will be of great comfort to everyone.
