Last May, my 83-year-old father was diagnosed with Stage 4 gastric cancer. Over the past year, he has fought with incredible strength and resilience. He is a fighter in every sense of the word, but today, April 23rd, we received the news that no child ever wants to hear: my dads fight has come to an end, and it is time for him to transition into hospice care.

I am an only child and the only living family my father has. While he is in California and I am based in Florida, I have been flying back and forth across the country to be by his side. I am with him now, and my priority is ensuring that his final days are filled with dignity, comfort, and the 24/7 care he requires.

Any advice for an only child?
