We are near the end

I'm sorry you're going through this but also relate to what you wrote. As someone else said, be prepared to possibly feel shock and in my case, some weird guilt. I can't explain it but I don't think it's uncommon. Guilt about feeling some of the feelings you feel now, guilt about sound decisions, heartbreak that surprises you. I think it's all normal IF you feel these things. Everyone is different and you may just feel overwhelming peace. Wanting someone to have a peaceful passing comes from a place of love, but sometimes has lingering affects after it happens. Try to give yourself space to feel everything and know that you provided comfort and love. I hope you and your family have some beautiful moments with your father in the last days.
