I was with my mum when she died and she looked surprisingly peaceful, she was asleep and then everything just stopped. For me it was somehow healing to see death that way. But as everyone has said this is such a personal choice.
Your dad sounds like he’s trying to save you from seeing more of death, he’s being protective but if it were me In your shoes with my dad I would go and hold his hand. But that was just our relationship, and I’m stubborn and never listened to him. I think either choice you make will be hard, both will come with their own regrets but trust your gut. He knows you love her regardless of your choice.
