My dad has had kidney failure for about two and half years now, but has been getting through. But recently, he has been diagnosed with not only kidney failure, but now liver failure and heart problems. His stomach is bloated with fluid, badly enough to where his intenstines are getting pushed through his belly button. Three different doctors have done tests and checked him out and all say that he doesn't have long to live. I've just been really stressed, and seem to be walking on another planet. My mother had died when I was young, and he was my mother and father for as long as I could remember. I couldn't imagine losing him, especially this way. He's in pain everyday and I wish I could do more to help him. I'm sorry, I just needed to write it out. I haven't been able to say it without crying. Thank you for listening.
I am so sorry. :(
I have no advice to offer you just a hug. I really hope your situation gets better.
*hugs*
:( i am so sorry... i will keep you in my thoughts. *hugs*
I hope that he's not in any pain.
I had to watch my FI's mother. It hurt pretty bad. I wish I could just hug you and tell you, it'll be okay. But that was the worst thing people could tell me. So just a hug. And if you need to talk. Know the hive is here.
Oh my...how hard for you! You are in my thoughts today...stay strong. Your dad is lucky to have a daughter that cares for him so much.
Oh honey... I'm so, so sorry to hear this. We're all here for you anytime you need to talk. (((hugs)))
I'm so sorry. You are in my thoughts. I'm glad you have your FI to support you.
How difficult this must be for you. I send you wishes of strength and calmness. I hope you find solace in your SO, friends, and other family. I'm sure I speak for us all when I say you will be in our thoughts.
I am SO, SO sorry. I wish you both strength and comfort during this incredibly tough time. *hugs*
I am so sorry to hear about your father's health problems. You, your father, and family are in my thoughts and prayers.
((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry sweetie. I can't even imagine what you're going through. Sending lots of love and good thoughts to you and your dad.
I am so sorry to hear this.
My prayers are with you. Please try never to be alone. Just surround yourself with positive friends and relatives.
And always know that it was his time to go and there is nothing you can do to stop it or even prolong the matter. It's time when its time. All you can do is indulge in the precious few moments you have left with him. Tell him/ask him anything you ever wanted to. Give him and yourself a proper closure.
I am really so very sorry for you. 
I'm so sorry, I wish that there was more any of us could say or do.
I am so sorry to hear this, I can't imagine how difficult this must be. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry you are going through this. You and your father are in my thoughts and prayers. (((Hugs)))
I'm so sorry and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh god, I'm so, so, so sorry. The only comfort there is is that he knows how much you love him, and you know how much he loves you. But it's a horrible, wrenching, life-changing thing to go through, and my heart goes out to you.
I'm so sorry. Watching a parent die is an awful thing. I lost my mom a year ago and it was a long battle. Sending hugs and prayers your way <3
I'm so sorry. I know it's an awful feeling seeing your Dad so ill. Thoughts and prayers headed your way.
I'm so sorry =( You and your dad are in my thoughts and prayers ((hugs))
(((((HUGS)))) I'm so so sorry to hear this. :( Lots of hugs to you and your family. You'll be in our thoughts and we're here if you need or want to talk more.
take care of yourself and don't forget to lean on your friends and your family. And eat!!! Don't forget to eat!!!!
HUGS!! Also just bear in mind htat doctors have been wrong before and people have outlived their doctors expectations many times before
Very sorry to hear this. My dad died when I was 6 and my mom died just last year, so I can empathize. It is never fully better, but it does get easier. Right now, just focus on your dad and your love for each other. Hugs.
I am so sorry about your Dad. I have been in your shoes, and know it is very difficult. I think the most important thing I can tell you is to spend as much time as you can, talking to your Dad. Tell him you love him, and listen to him. My father was hospitalized the last few months of his life and I think we talked more in those last weeks than we did in the 22 years prior to that. Those bedside conversations we had are very precious to me. Ask him about his childhood, how he fell in love with your mom. Ask him what he felt like when you were born. Just hold his hand and surround him with your love.
I will tell you something. My dad passed away many years ago. Physically, he is gone. But, in my every day life I still feel his presence around me. Sometimes, when I am driving, I almost feel like if I turn my head, I will see him sitting beside me. I really do feel like even though he isn't here, he is still watching over me, and with me, sort of like a silent cheerleader in the background. When your Dad's time comes, he may be gone physically, but he will still be with you. I believe that the spirit of a person does live on, and that is the part that will surround you when you most need it.
I'm really sorry you're going through this. My dad had kidney cancer that spread everywhere, and he had the some of the same symptoms you've said about your dad. It is very hard to deal with, but like @SandyThePoet said, ask him about everything. Those conversations are really important. I wish I would have done more of that when I had the chance. Lean on the people you can for support and encouragement, and you can always message me if you need to talk to just write things out. I held things in a lot, but eventually just broke down. It helps if you talk to others about the situation and how you are feeling.
That is so incredibly sad. I am just heartbroken for you. You're in my thoughts.
Your post made me cry, I've been through this too. Every bit of me wishes I could give you a hug. Please be as strong as possible for your dad. He won't want to see you sad. As difficult as it is, try to be positive about the time you spend together. I love the previous suggestion of asking him all the things you don't yet know. Maybe write him a letter to read telling him just how much he means to you.
I'm so, so sorry you're going through this, there really is nothing much worse. It will get easier with time, that's a promise. You will get through this. My thoughts are with you. Keep yourself busy. Lots of love x
there are probably no words that I, or anyone else can say that can take away the hurt and pain you're feeling, but stay strong. When you look at him in pain, try to push that image out of your mind, and remember the father you've known your whole life. saturate your throughts with happy memories, and spend every last minute with him that you can while he's still here. <3
I am so sorry. There is nothing to say in times like these and can make anyone feel better, but I wish you strentgh and courage during this time in your life.
