My father-in-law has been sick for a while with some sort of terminal cancer. About a week and a half ago, his sisters thought the end was imminent. He is receiving hospice care and has been on morphine. Mark got a text message this morning from Carol (his youngest sister) saying that both she and Sue (the oldest sister) were with their father and it wasn't looking good. That was about 7 hours ago and we've heard nothing since.
I hate this feeling and I know it's hard on Mark, too, even though he is not there with his sisters. The unknown...waiting for the inevitable. I don't like this stage of life at all.
