My father is not doing so well off anymore I have told my mother for the past 3 years I don't see him here for much longer, I know that sounds meanor cruel to some but this is a fact I know. I know she does not want to hear it, I do but at the same time I want her to get herself ready am I being to pushy here? Can anyone lend me some advise here on how to handle this? Has anyone lost thier parents, how did you get threw it?

It is hard but reality.I think your mother too has an idea of her husbands illness & his chances of survival being less.actually everybody has to deal with it.Not everybody is there in this world forever.I am lucky to have my parents but practically we all know that one day they will not be there.I think you should tell your mother & have practical approach .she will definitely understand the situation.

I had lost my mom just this January and as one of the siblings of my parents it hurts me a lot as well to my dad.They've been together for almost 28 years and now my dad is sad here but he is not alone for he still have his daughters and sons who will take good care of him.It hurts to lose someone you love but no one knows when it will come, but for sure we're also going there.With the love and care of each other where asking and giving strength to each one of us, thats the only way we can overcome the pain that our family facing now.We just need to bare with each other.

Fathers by nature do not like to be told anything but love their children as much as mothers.
When trying to tell your mom about the inevitable, you are not helping in any way.
I feel your love for your parents would be the best gift they would hope for. Keep them both in your prayers and involve them in your life. Leave the rest to God.
