Feeling your powerlessness in your situation. Durable POA is in another's hands and I am actively grieving through a sad mental decline in an elderly parent. The only comfort, measure of peace, is that home with God is closer and closer. When that happens, as I have for 40+ years with other family members gone home, I will connect mentally-spiritually with this final departure from my family of origin that precedes my own -- 'cos I'm going home, too, one day. I know this will sound crazy, but I do have connections with departed loved ones where I "hear" from them. It's not a direct line, it's spliced in ways I can't describe, but after more than 40 years of "coincidences" there are no such things as coincidences. Sending a heartfelt prayer for you for some measure of peace in the infinite love you share with your dad, and for your dad who, like all of us, is in the hands of the infinite love that is God.

Thank you so much, and I'm sorry you're in a similar situation. May God bless you beyond measure.
