I'm still up with my family - the funeral is tomorrow. We've been to visit Dad's body at the funeral home, which was actually a really good move. Until we did that it was just a sad story - it felt like he could come home from work at any time - but seeing him at peace in his coffin made it certain that he's gone.
When I first found out, I doubted that I could speak at his service, but I think I'll be able to cope.
One of Dad's biggest fears was growing old and incapacitated, so it's somewhat of a relief that it was relatively instant, and not a long, drawn-out suffering.
