How do I handle visiting my dad watching the life go out of him?

My Dad is sick with kidney disease. And I know he we'll pass away with out a transplant.
I tried visiting him but it just gets too depressing to literally watch the life go out of him.
I tried watching him get dialysis. But that proved too much for me.
There is so little I am comfortable doing anymore.
And it's so morbid I keep expecting him to die . So he we'll feel no more pain. And I can move on with my life.

It's normal time feel powerless and confused
There is no easy answer.
Sorry to hear about your brother.
Hopefully you can find some peace.

When my bro was dying I just sat and held his hand and read a book while he slept. I wish I had known how to do more, I regret not having gone more often.
