In reply to the discussion: UPDATE: My 93-year-old father is very close to death from congestive heart failure. [View all]Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)43. I've done exactly what you're doing.
Hold his hand and talk to him. Even if you think he can't hear you. He can. Your presence will be comforting.
It's the hardest thing to do. But it is such a gift of love at the same time. My heart is with you and your family.
And may your dad have a very peaceful passing.
