I agree with Lisa and I am sure you do too because you have also been through this before. It is so hard for those who just dont want to let their parent go. I know I wanted to beg my dad to do any and every possible treatment out there but I knew it really wouldnt do any good in the end. The result would be the same in the end and my dad would be oh so miserable for the last days of his life. As it was, my dad did a round of radiation that left him in so much pain and in so much worse shape that I feel he would have lived far longer had he not even attempted any treatment at all.
Cory had an awful time understanding the absolute endgame of hospice care. It had been about 6 months or since he had seen his Papa so when he saw him the day before he died, Cory really lost it. He wanted us-someone- to do something to make him better or to take him to the hospital. He was almost panicked over it. I think it was the whole thing of actually seeing his beloved Papa die like that at home. The actual act occurring. It hit him hard.
You dont have to use my star thing but it really has made a difference. Cory talks to Papa's star, he talks to the star with Keyana and they talk to Papa together while on the phone. Its one thing they can do while far apart. She will call me and say great grandfather made it snow a whole lot here Grandma! I told my teacher that is why it is snowing so much. My great grandfather is in heaven and he wants me to be able to have lots of snow this year away from my grandma. She is funny. Her teacher had to call us to figure out what the story was...lol.
