Laelth has passed away

[LaelthsSon]

Hi. I regret to inform anyone who knew Laelth that he died. My dad had multiple strokes back to back which cost him most of his mobility and speech. He was in the hospital for months and eventually was moved to a care facility where he passed. It was expected he would get better, not worse. He left with very little funds set aside and I don't have enough for the funeral. Any help and I would appreciate it. Thank you. Below is a link to the go fund me.

Sometimes it's hard to keep track of everyone here, but he was a touchstone. So very sorry and I offer you huge hugs in your grief.
Lost both my folks in 2022 & 2023 and I'm still not okay sometimes...

I know a lot of DU members he loved to message and discuss with. He'd been on DU most of my life, all I can remember of it, anyway. Big hugs and thank you

18. So sorry for your loss

I sent what I could.

[LaelthsSon]

20. Every little bit helps

I appreciate it so much

[3Hotdogs]

21. If he was a veteran, there may be funeral help from the V.A.

[LaelthsSon]

26. He wasn't

Unfortunately, he wasn't. I looked into any social security options and the only thing I could find was death benefits. Those only go to spouse or underaged children. Neither apply here.

[usaf-vet]

27. Exactly! he would be entitled to be buried in a VA cemetery.

If he was a veteran go to the nearest Veterans Service Office. They will help you gather what you need, starting with a DD214.

He was too young! I'm so sorry.

[LaelthsSon]

49. He was

He was young. Still in his 50's. Arterial Fibrillation caused a clot and the stroke's wiped him out quickly. Once you have one stroke, you're bound to have more. It was just some bad luck.

... pray your loss lightens with time.

[LaelthsSon]

54. I'm sorry you lost your father, too.

It's truly painful to lose someone. I hope you're okay and have lots of support. You loved your father dearly, I can tell.

[marble falls]

55. We both loved our dads. Mine would have been 95 later this month. He taught me empathy that was what ...

... I really needed. We just got him to give up the car and house about two years ago. I've got some funny stories, he was wonderful.

I am no longer the eldest of the eldest son. I am now the oldest of my generation.

[LaelthsSon]

58. He sounded like a wonderful man

[LuckyCharms]

60. My deepest condolences

Being a newbie, I didn't know your Dad, but I know that there is nothing like a Dad.
I couldn't donate much, but I gave what I could happily, knowing how important it is to you to honor your Dad's wishes.
A hug for you, and prayers for you and all his family and friends.

Thank you for the information. We're all heading for the same destination. It doesn't make it any easier to accept, though. Remember the way he once was, and I hope you, your family, and friends, find solace in your time of sorrow.
