Very sorry to hear about your father. It is tough watching our parents age and then switching roles. Sounds like you did it well and gave him the chance to lean on you. He was very blessed to have you as you were blessed to help him through this. Take your time getting your head back. It is a lot to process. We all need our own time and our own way to muddle through.
