My father can no longer speak and has been writing notes on a board. Yesterday hospice said it could be a day or a week but he his steadily declining. Every time he writes something I'm terrified it may be his "last words". A few minutes ago he rang his bell and when I went he asked for the board. He wrote, "if your mother needs help, how will she find me". I've totally lost it.
They've been together almost fifty years and I know she has no idea how To go on without him. She's depended on him for everything and I know he's held on this long, even though he's suffering, because he doesn't want to leave her alone.
