You need to be a man of courage. He doesn't want life support. You need to have the courage to let him pass on to the spirit world.

My 72 yr old pops has stage 4 cancer of liver colon and lung had one more chemo treatment to go thought we had it dicked this time.Its really knocked him back in a worse shape than I've ever seen him but he put up a hell of a fight.Any way Saturday night around 7 he ran out of Marlboros and booze and made a run down to the store got out of his truck and collapsed in the parking lot ems got there within ten minutes couldn't find a pulse did cpr and brought him back.Hes in ICU on a ventilator now but not coming around he has a advance directive and doesn't want life support so I've got a big decision to make in 24 hrs.I sat down today with his savage 99 and had a tearful momentmoment thinking about me and him hunting together and just don't know what to do. Prayers sent. You know what you need to do.

Hello:
I am new on this site in matter of fact I joined today.I was drawn by your sincere humble title of this post.
I must say that my prayers are with you, with your dad and family. That GOD's presence be with you all and his comfort engulfs you and console you. I know its not easy to see our love ones in such a helpless state and to feel that we are even more helpless to help them. I had some what, the same feeling, when my brother in law was in the same state. though much younger than your dad, but his state was as bad. He was like a brother to me, I could not do any thing to help him, he lived overseas. I knew he did not really know God, he was from a different religion, which I used to belong to and new that it did not have, the real true knowledge of GOD. My main concern was not that I did not want him to be healed and well, but the thing I wanted more, is to have him know God intimately and to make his peace with HIM. Needless to say that through a chain of some miraculous interventions. In matter of few days, he came to know GOD and to turn his life to his new savior. Less than 24 hours before he passed on to be with his new lord. later when I heard of his passing on I deeply was thankful to God, that he arranged every event, in such a way that lead to his solvation. I new deep in side that my brother in law is with the lord in a far better place and state. That brought a tremendous relief and closure to this painful event. Please forgive me I don't mean to offend anybody only wish that my experience might help you making the right decision.
GOD bless you bless your Dad and family

Prayers sent for your Dad, yourself, and your family.
Your Dad has declared what it is that he wants to happen, give it to him, show respect for his word and his wishes, and count yourself as a truly loving son, and a man of deep respect for his Father. A better son you could never be than right now.
God Bless you both.

Not meaning to be contrary, but don't assume that he is not aware of what is going on around him.
Hearing is the last sense to go, even after the rest of the body cannot respond.
Talk to him, thank him for the things he taught you, let him know that he is loved and that you will do the very best you know how.
It's hard, but we were never promised that life was going to be easy and death is just another part of life.
You have my prayers.

There are no magic words to make this hurt less, just know that you and your family are in the prayers of many.
I'm sorry for you in this situation, we are never ready to let them go.
I pray for the comfort that only God can give and may you be at peace.

Prayers sent for all involved. If you were in his place, you would probably have the same wishes as he. Breathe deeply, and try to rest.
