He was into entubated and sedated, so I never got to say goodbye, or that I loved him. My family decided to take him off the ventilator, and we all gathered around his bedside and watched him slowly die. It was the hardest thing I had ever faced. I broke down at his bedside holding his hand.. Crying my eyes out. He hadn't seen me graduate, he hadn't even seen me, his youngest daughter, turn 18.. I'm still hurting.. How can I make this easier..?... How do I explain his death to those around me..? How do I face this..?
