Although in my experience hospice (he stayed at home but they visited occasionally) was *always* telling us he was about to die in a day or 2 and they did that for about 8 months so dont give up. I hope he was able to get some of his ducks in a row. My father wanted to make it to my sisters wedding, which he did, and thats something of a victory.

I know the feeling. I got that call in Feb 2017. I was lucky to make it there before he passed.. do what you can to try and be there for him.

Oddly enough, my dad was also 66 when he passed.

Not really. My mom and dad divorced when I was 1 and then my mom and I moved from Pensacola, FL to Austin, TX when I was about 3... I grew up without my dad for the most part, but we've started on touch via telephone over the years. He came to visit in Austin a couple times and I've gone to see him a number of times.

My dad talked about me in every conversation he had with people... He just made some bad choices in life that caused my mom to walk away to protect me, herself, and her career.

A few things...

1) Advanced stage liver cancer, possibly pancreatic cancer, too. His liver failed some time recently, they think.
2) Stage 4 kidney disease.
3) His blood cells aren't retaining water properly, and the water spills into his abdomen, causing his abdomen to swell up. They were having to drain his abdomen every few days.

His short term memory is also pretty bad.

Sorry to hear, man.

As someone that went through it, I dont recommend being in the room when he passes unless he's knocked out. I held my mom's hand as she screamed in agony at the end and that shit fucks you up. It was not the calm fading away that I've witnessed when they just unplug someone and let them go. It's just straight up horrifying.

He just died...

This is all very strange to me. I had no idea how all of this would hit me. The sadness has been coming and going. I'm kinda glad the hospice company called yesterday to tell me he was actually near death. I think that knowledge prepared me for this over the past 24 hours or so...

Kinda sucks that I'm in Austin and couldn't be there with the family, but... Austin is my home and I've got stuff that needs to get done.

I grew up apart from my dad for the vast majority of my life, so him dying doesn't really affect my actual life that much. He had about $1000 to his name and I don't even want that, let alone need it. It'll probably go towards the arrangements for burial and memorial or whatever any way. He has a car and a lawnmower and I don't need or want any of it.

I think the car is already returned to the place he got it from because he hadn't paid it off, but... Other family members will decide what to do with the lawnmower.

Yeah, his sisters (kinda weird that I call them that... they're my aunts) are going to handle that I think. One of my cousins says there's some family monetary account that they pull from here and there to pay for the taxes on what was my grandparents' property. I'm thinking they may use a portion of that to pay for what the money in his account doesn't cover.

The best thing to realize is that how you die largely reflects on how you've lived. Be there for him as long as you can, constantly remind him of what kind of person he was (hopefully that he was a great dad). Then time run its course and always keep him in your memory.

Ultimately life ending doesn't matter. Having lived life does

I drove to Pensacola, FL a couple weeks ago to see my dad and got to reconnect with a lot of family members that I hadn't seen in about 30 years. I drove back to Austin, TX last week before the hurricane hit.

I'm gonna go back when they have the memorial and probably stay about a week or so.
