Just need some comfort...

[Digit]

I thought I would post this as a thread for those on this wonderful community who have things going on and need some virtual hugs.

I just received a phone call from my step mother that my father is back in the hospital with pneumonia. He was in a few months ago when his lungs collapsed for unknown reasons. He was close to death at that time and was put on a respirator.
He has not wanted to speak with me or anyone else since that time.
My step mother said he has given up. Maybe it is his time, I don't know. It is hard to keep perspective.

I hope this is not a burden hearing this....I have no other real friends to share this with and I needed to share.
I realize others have more severe burdens than this, and this is not meant to take away from that.
Quick hug, and I will deal with it.
Oh, my mother had died from pneumonia in 1998 and that is what stresses me.
Thanks for listening.
