My father had a minor fall at first, nothing too serious but he needed walker to walk after that. A week later, he had a more serious fall, I asked him and mom to come to my house immediately so me, wife and siblings could help look after him.

After about 10 days at my home, he seem more improved, better focus, better health and is able to stand a bit with the help of the walker. After 10 days, he seem shivering and feel cold even when the fan is off. 11th day he seem like have a seizure and have difficulty breathing. We call the ambulance and admit him to hospital. To our shock we were told he had lung infection.

First day in hospital he seem fine, but not able to talk, second day he was sleeping whole day. Third day, he seem recovered, able to move his hand and feet. Fourth day, I was shocked that he passed away.

I am still trying to come to terms, although I do get signs and dreams from God/him that he was okay. Just the speed of his decline I could not come to terms with.

Unlike the above stories of old folks lasting months/even years. My father was gone within a matter of weeks.

My dad seem to show signs of infection at my house, weird thing is he don't have any fever/cough symptoms before that.

At hospital he seem to have recovered by third day, even the doctor came in happily and told us he improved a lot on the third day.

we were shocked when got a call from hospital he passed away on fourth day

I agree it may be good for the deceased with minimal suffering period, but for me it come as a shock as it is too sudden and he showed signs of improvement, so I had my hopes up
