Hi Mark, I am very sorry to hear about your Dad. I have experienced two deaths so far in my life. I lost my mum when I was 5, and it does Scar, as in I still remembers exactly what happen the night she died, but I feel like it was more because it was sudden and we haven't had proper closure (my dad didn't tell me she died after she was sent to the hospital and never talked about her again because he was devastated) so I think have closure and letting the sorrow out for you and your son would be an important thing. The second death was my grandma, much later just before I had my son. She too was not very coherent by the time we went to her death bed, but even though she couldn't speak, she still recognised me and squeezed my hand. I know it's scary and sad that you Dad may not seem to remember you, but I think deep down they all do. So stay by him! Let him know that you are there even though he may seem incoherent. Stay strong!
