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

[AAKing23]

That's a tough situation breh, it's a slippery slope

 

[Taadow]

Give ‘em a hug and a pound, mayne.

...what's your household situation? where's your mom, and other siblings? if you don't mind me asking.

 

[Huda2daf]

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

You need to find out if your pops has ANY life insurance too.

 

[Kumi]

That's tough, sry to hear that breh. If he's really intent on his decision though you should support him. Damn, if that was my Pops I'd have to fight him tooth & nail on that shyt.

Wish him the best

my dad has lung cancer since 2017 and we talk about chemo and he said he’s down with it cause he wants to live..

so we go to chemo every 2 weeks and he feel good about it

I just came here and told y'all because... I didn't have anyone else

...what's your household situation? where's your mom, and other siblings? if you don't mind me asking.

My mom is doing this mom thing where she's pretending to not care, but I don't have any siblings. Me, I'm mad cause he just gave up

I think he does but I don't care, the muthafukka said the hell with treatment ima just let nature take its course

Like bruh...

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

Fukk. Feel for you man, but the man has the freedom to choose life or death.

I'm not looking forward to burying my dad either.

Anybody here who has been through this that can drop some advice?

Damn breh, my heart goes out to you and your fam.

it’s hard to witness real life play out right in front of you...but he’s fought a long time, make sure his least days are as pleasant as possible breh.

Let him rest I guess

 

[MikelArteta]

Sorry breh.
Is he line for a transplant or anything

 

[Idaeo]

Sorry to hear that breh.

My grandma made the same decision last year. She was not only on dialysis but also a feeding tube. She wasn’t happy with her quality of life and was ready to move on.

Some of my family wasn’t happy with it but it was ultimately her decision. She was of a sound mind so we all had to accept it. She passed away about a month after she made that choice.

Does he have any grand children? Maybe that can convince him to stay

I give up and I don't know what I was expecting because y'all don't know me... But thank you

There’s no advice to give unfortunately. Nothing gets easier, you just get used to it.



ETA- actually, maybe you guys can write his obituary together. I know it seems bleak, but it may be cathartic for both of you and you can talk about monumental moments he had in life.
