So my Pops doesn't want dialysis anymore and chose to die

[Kid Dynamite]

The man has a small kidney and it seems like he gave up. He's tired of going to treatment. RIP my old man. I talked to him but.... I actually did this before and I thought everything was fine, he met new friends but I just thought I'd share this with y'all because I truly believe no one else cares

He said he's just tired of going 3 days out of the week and I'm preparing for whenever he dies in his sleep.

I never thought I'd would make one of these posts but here I am

He sounds depressed. From what I know from relatives who were dialysis patients, it's quite draining. How long has he been a patient?

Look up support groups for people with similar issues.

Death is a part of life. Just help make sure his final business is in order. It's time for some hard conversations about money and property. Do you have siblings?

Sounds like he doesn't have a wife. What I mean by that is that if he had a wife, she'd be trying to prevent him from stopping....not say he's in the wrong here.

my grandma was going through it, especially in the later years. seemed like a shell of former herself and i think that's the part she hated the most.

What exactly does the dialysis process entail?

He’s tired, drained and see’s no end in sight.

I feel for him and you...

Payers and blessings to you and your father.

Nothing can prepare you to lose a parent. It's the worse. Spend as much time as you can with him and tell him how much you love and appreciate him.

Nah only child but, you're right I need to know what money is tied up in what and etc

How old is he? Has he thought of doing peritoneal dialysis if it’s an option? You can stay home and do the treatment and be out and about while it’s working. Not nearly as restrictive. Maybe suggest it, but hemodialysis is supposedly debilitating and people are always fatigued. It’s very burdensome.

Either way breh, I hope you are able to get through this and be supportive of your fathers decision. Things will get better.
