That is harsh bruh. Even I'm feeling the gravity of that. I don't know what it's like to walk in this shoes but he's gotta choose life.
He ain't dead yet. Might as well shoot for an intervention
So my Pops doesn't want dialysis anymore and chose to die

They place you on a machine that cleans the blood, seeing your kidneys no longer provide that function.
You are fitted with a permanent catheter.
Its about a 6 hour process.
A good friend of my goes to dialysis twice a week.
Can get very stressful.
I feel for op.
Both my parents have kidney disease.
Keep positive energy @Kid Dynamite
Definitely take his advice, you don't want to have to deal with his estate AFTER. Too mentally draining.
Respect his decision, he is the one who has to go through the treatment and the pain to stay here. Spend as much time with him as possible and get his affairs in order.
He would probably appreciate spending more time with you and the fact that you are stepping up to take care of things. He can go knowing you got it handled.
You don't want his last days filled with anger and regret either.
Being an only child of elderly parents can be rough. I empathize man, believe me. Wish you well.

bro, talk to your dad, man... I get that he's in pain and he's giving up once he's gone, he's gone. I don't know what to tell you to say, only you know your dad. But talk to him, beg him, plead with him. Tell him you need him.
Because once he's gone, there's no getting him back.
I called my aunt aka his niece and she couldn't do anything... I did it the first time and he lasted 6 years... I just made this thread because y'all actually seem to care about people. Don't need daps or anything just a shoulder to lean on

Hopefully, OP and his parents have some sort of hospice care set up so the old man doesn't go out badly.
Thank you bruh...
Spend as much time with him as you can. Last year when my dad was diagnosed as terminal I was home every weekend until he passed. Tell him everything you’ve wanted to and leave no regrets. One thing I wish I would have done was get a voice recording or some kind. I had a dream about my old man and when I woke up I realized I hadn’t heard his voice in forever. Went looking through old voicemails hoping I had one and I didn’t sadly.
I might have to do that... He has a real distinct voice so I might record it or just record him while I can
Thanks Coli... No Daps or Reps were needed just wanted to talk to people who've been there
My coworkers mother did the same thing. She was 89 and wanted to be at peace. It took a couple of weeks but it happened.
Just enjoy the time you had with him and the time you have left with him.
Just enjoy the time you had with him and the time you have left with him.
All of this!!!
My dad died suddenly of cancer when I was 17. I wish I could talk to him one last time or hear his voice. I used to delete voicemails from my mom but now I delete every voicemail except hers. She’s all I got left so I made it a point to save all of them for when I want to hear her voice once she’s gone.
I pride myself on it
Be more "meh" and "whatever" like your moms. It will make you a better man in life

condolences, breh, but you have to change your mindset here. It’s his cross to bear. Not bearing it yourself, you shouldn’t be quick to judge but rather quick to express empathy. You’re not going through what he is going through no matter how things look from your perspective. Be supportive and understanding and cherish the time you have with him.
How old is your father?
