It felt like a real hug!
Anxiety any better yet?

Oh no/ I’m so sorry that’s aweful I just went through this. My dad had s subarachnoid aneurysm which burst stroked and caused a huge hemmorage. Surgeons fixed best they could plugging the spots or what ever they do. but he had vasospassims then a second stroke and was going to be permanently severely brain damaged with s tube in his neck and one in his stomach. The second stroke did too much damage. We took him off all life support and a sat and held his hand till he passed. This was in November. Did you have to sign the Do not resuscitate paperwork? I did it was aweful. I’m not going to be ok for a long time. I hope your siblings are at least supporting each other even if communication is bad. It’s just so hard. I was actually really glad I had started medication again right before hand.
Hope your ok. How old is your dad? Mine was 69 but our family lives to 80’s-100’s normally. I was not prepared. No one ever is I guess.
