My father has recently passed away due to Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a rare condition that causes nerve damage. He got it from the effects of Campylobacter (bacteria found in raw chicken). He ate chicken at home but it was cooked on the outside but raw on the inside and that's when the bacteria struck his nerves. My dad usually had good culinary experience, but at that moment, he ate raw chicken by accident. My father has battled GBS for months, I even prayed he would make it through these conditions, and I believed it, but sadly, he never made it. But before he passed away, I spent time with him in the hospital one last time and I spoke with him for the very last time before his passing. I really miss him so much.

He was 65 years old when he experienced GBS from the effects of Campylobacter. He was on a vent/CPAP Machine for months, battling GBS, but sadly, he lost the battle against GBS and passed away.

After hearing the news, I was grieved. That was heart-wrenching! I sat on my bed and wept. And everyone near me felt sorry for my loss and sent me their condolences and hugs. I was thankful. I also received advice from others to feel better, but it's not going to be easy for me to get over the death of my parent. It's going to take some time to accept this new reality.
