My uncle past away today.
He had been suffering from dementia and bladder cancer for the last few years.
My dad who has been best mates with him since they was 15 years old is in pieces and wanting to fight every f*cker :(
I don't know if i'm been a total tw*t saying this but in a way i'm glad it is all over and he is at peace now.
Its wierd but im trying to get my head round how I am supposed to feel about all this :-\
Lifes shite at the moment :(

Really sorry to hear the news.
You are not supposed to feel anything in particular. You feel what you feel and nobody is in a position to argue. You cannot control these feelings. They are as they are, and you need to accept this, as do those people around you. Just be true to yourself
My father died after years of dementia back in 2006, aged just 62. It took me a few years to really grieve. It's different for everybody.
All the best.

I certainly don't think so, it is a brave thing to admit but shows love and affection. :y
Life will get better, time is a great healer and brings the good times to the fore and the shit fades away.

Do not fell bad at the sense of relief - we are in that situation with MIL in Truro - it will be a merciful release for her to go - and everyone is of the same view - you just have to see her to see why.

sorry to hear this tg but i think he has gone to a better place no more suffering it dose take time to come to terms with it how long i cant say
i lost my dad in 1991 still not got over it i miss him alot
but hell be up there sat on his cloud watching over you and your familys
our thoughts are with you the ozzys
-
Sincere condolences to the family.
As for feeling relief... Nothing wrong with that. I watched my Aunt deteriorate with MS from "normal" life to bed ridden and unable to do anything. When she passed away I was in my early 20's and felt huge relief for her and the rest of the family.

I think thats the thing with all this.
We have had to just sit back and watch while not been able to do a thing about it.
Apreciate the kind words lads :)
Thank You :)

as echoed by previous comments TG your certainley no Tw*t any loss of life is very sad but to watch someone suffer and loose control of basic functions is very hard to deal with the sense of helplessness and the wish for it to be over quickly and find peace is what anybody would want in that situation.
Watched my farther in law pass in a similar way and my mother some years before feel for you mate but sadness turns to relife that thier suffering has ended and they are at last at peace. So i do hope you feel better and are coming to terms with it all
thoughts are with you

My wife endured a similar thing very recently when her beloved Grandad, who had suffered from dementia and had gradually deteriorated to the point where he had no idea where he was and who his close family were, had a stroke and died. She expressed her relief that it was all over, and that he was finally reunited with his lovely wife again, who had died a few years earlier.
Your father may feel differently about the situation, but there's no shame in the way you feel mate. Hope all concerned get through this ok
-
Sorry to hear this Steve. But like you said above - At least hes in peace now.
Take care mate.
-
Sorry to hear your bad news mate....its hard on all concerned when someone passes away...mixed emotions when that person has had health issues for a few years.....and see them change from what they use to be like.....quality of life gets to a low point and sometimes `waking up asleep` might be the best thing....i use this `waking up asleep` phrase when loved ones pass away as there still with u in spirit awake in heaven.....!!
-
That is very sad news indeed mate. my uncle passed away with the same and the closer you are the more difficult it is to deal with it. one of my closest friends died 10yrs ago this yr on my birthday and i still miss her a lot. always think of her and can't see the sadness of her death ever leaving me. in the last few weeks my dad was rushed into hospital with a clot in his artery, my aunt has had a massive stroke and m8s sister collapsed and is in hospital with water on the brain. and im being treated yet again for this sinus disease that's going to eventually finish me off.

Sorry to hear of your sad loss,but no more pain and suffering and hopefully in a better place,our thoughts are with you...

Sorry to hear this steve .......
There is no "right" or "wrong" in these situatons - IMHO

I know exactly what you mean. My dad passed away this month, he had dementia as well, other complications included mesothelioma (precursor to lung cancer) from when he worked at Dowty in the 50's and 60's.
I, like you, felt only relief. To put it another way, my Dad died when he no longer knew who I was, which was about 4 years ago.... I have been grieving this since then. The person we cremated was my father, a stranger to us as he no longer had the memories that make a person who they are.
Now he is in a better place, wherever that may be, with all his faculties returned to him (or so I like to think)
I have just completed the last of the paperwork as I was his Power of Attorney, long drawn out job made all the more difficult as he had no Will.
The end of an era for us, I had so looked forward to him being able to pass on his skills to me regarding engineering, unfortunately that wasn't to be.
As others have said, there is no 'right or wrong' when it comes to dealing with issues like these, you just do what you have to and feel how you will.
My sympathy is with you and your family for the loss.
Best regards
Jon

Apreciate the kind words :)
Its been a rough week :(
Turns out one of my other uncles (dads youngest brother this time) is in hospital again :(
Turned yellow last week while on holiday
He had various bits removed a couple of years ago due to cancer so things not looking to bright for him :(
Anyway, the funeral is this afternoon so we will all give him a bloody good send off and remember the happy times :)
Paracetemol and fresh glass of water already at the bedside for tomorrow morning ;) ;)
