I was on vacation in Montana when I got the call and I'm flying back today.

His sugar crashed day before yesterday (diabetic) and he was hospitalized. Previous heart, kidney, and colon issues all piled up. Docs switched to comfort carre. Only my mom and sister got to be in the room cuz covid sucks in Colorado rn.

Hospital was able to set up video call yesterday for me and my other siblings who couldn't be in the room. He went so fast.

I've don't know if I've even really stopped crying.

There's so much shit to do and I'm not up for seeing extended family. Might have to set up a GoFundMe for the damn funeral expenses but at the moment I can't stop blubbering like a lost little kid.

It's been a hard day and I just wanted to get a little bit off my chest.

Edit: Thank you imgur peoples for hearing me out. The words of support have meant a lot, honestly they might have helped me sleep. We've looked into the funeral options and my family has an appointment to set the up the details tomorrow.

If anyone wants the GoFundMe me info it's https://gofund.me/c80bcf68.

My dad was one of the oldest herbal man for the Latino community in Denver. Thanks to anyone in the Latin community in Denver/Five Points that have already reached out to family.

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad 7 years ago. This will take time to heal. Take time to grieve him. It will be ok again one day.

Thank you Banjotron. I have been able to spend time with my family. Self-care time has been hard but I can tell my brain needs those brakes.

If fam ok w/cremation you can send directly to crematorium & receive a box of ashes for $1200ish. $3-5000 for columbarium. Do a memorial/3

This was great info but unfortunately my family really wanted to honor his wishes about being buried per his faith.

Was he highly observant?

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah but thankfully he still loved his kids who didn't practice the same faith and the one atheist in the bunch.

Okay, I’m getting a weird vibe that I have seen this pic before. Not accusing or anything, just that weird feeling.
