Thank you all for your replies. We were prepared for this, but when it happens it still hurts.
My sister and I spent most of Sunday with my dad, talking about family and old times. Dad is one who doesn't show a lot of emotion, but you know he's hurting. But he also knows that Doris is in a better place now, no more pain, no more confusion. Dad also lives in assisted living. Although he can be forgetful sometimes, there is no real diagnosis, except for age.
Again, thanks to everybody for the support.
Gary
