Hi, my name is Wolf Taylor, my dad recently, on Thursday at around 4-4:30PM died.
I am honestly having a hard time dealing with his death, he meant everything to me and was my best friend, i was hoping he wold be around 20+ years, but fate had other plans.
here is what happened:
since November my dad was sick with COVID, Richard and i caught it too, but we were able to get over it.
My dad had what we thought to be a Swollen Lymph Node and had all the same symptoms i had.
on Saturday of this month, i found my dad in a daze outside, i asked him what he was doing and he didnt know, it turns out he was sleeping and woke up but still thought he was in the dream and he was trying to go to the hospital.
we went to the hospital and my dad apparently had a growth just bellow his upper left shoulder that was connecting to both his lungs and the growth in his neck. on Sunday, he told us not to worry about seeing him because he was tired and wanted to get some sleep and was going to be discharged on Monday. Monday morning while both Richard and i were asleep, my dad contacted the nurse that was taking care of him and told them he had trouble breathing, he then started bleeding from the mouth and went into a coma. they found out he had severe bleeding in his stomach and they also found he had a severe infection bellow his lung. the infection was a Strep infection, my dad was going through Septic Shock. the bleeding they stopped, but his heart also stopped and after several minutes they eventually were able to get his heart starting again. but he never woke up from his coma.
they were able to stop the bleeding in his stomach, but he also had Bacterial Pneumonia along with everything else. it was assumed that the growths my dad had were cancerous and due to the cancer and infection, my dad had to go onto more and more life support. every day i saw him he was getting worse and worse.
i was eventually told that he was very likely not to survive this and it would be better if he passed peacefully rather than painfully. (by removing the life support systems and giving him medicine that would make him feel much better).
i didnt want my dad to slowly rot while alive and i didnt want him to suffer anymore. so i agreed to the peaceful death.
my dad died minutes after the life support was removed and he died peacefully.
i honestly cant think of a life without him and i was honestly very reliant on him, for both emotional support and just as a friend, my best friend.
im having a very hard time with all of this, i still honestly cant believe he is dead. i dont want him to be dead, i miss him sooo much.
my dad didnt want to go to the hospital, he wanted to continue working on Music Eternal. once i saw him confused outside, i forced him to go to the hospital. my dad told me he didnt care about his health, he just wanted to make sure i had a future. i told him i wanted a future with him in it and i wished he took better care of him self. he said im sorry and that he didnt want me to hate him. i told him i could never hate him, i love him so much and i would never ever hate him.
just remembering this is filling me with sadness and i wish i forced him to be healthier and i just cant take this.
apparently, the infection he had was perfectly masked by COVID and they didnt know about it at all until it became severe.
im sorry if this is a bit jumbled, my minds a bit of a mess from all of this.
im also very stressed out dealing with a future that he isnt in.
if you can support me, thank you sooo much. i was told i should make a Gofundme and after thinking about it, i did. i just am sad that i had to do it because of my dad's death.
thank you for reading this and hank you sooo much if you plan to support me.
