BG, I'm sorry. When my dad was really sick it took all of my energy too. I hope he will be OK and well done on not drinking.

Prayers going up for you and GREAT for you not drinking!!

Being present for your dad and feeling the feelings that you are going through is hard, but worth every minute.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

praying for you and your family.

for what it's worth, my father died after several long hospital stays and eventually a couple weeks in hospice care. i was drunk for a lot of that time, and drank heavily after he died -- in the weeks following and beyond. i really regret it. not only was i not available for my family, i have learned that drowning my feelings did not make them go away. it has only made it harder to face them squarely. its been years now and i'm still uncovering things i tried to drown out.

my deepest sympathies. hang in there and be kind to yourself
