Coming to the end ? No more treatment for hubby as he's too poorly now. Trying my best to support him but he's deteriorating quickly

So hubby has finally been told by Oncologist no more treatment has he is too poorly.

So trying to support him best I can but I think he is deteriorating quite quickly

He is very sleepy and has reduced eating and drinking but is still able to have full conversations between snoozing

It is hard to see him so frail and he is upset that he might not get to see his new grandchild arrive 

I am on a knife edge each time I go into his room but also hoping he just goes to sleep and his suffering ends soon

It is so hard to watch and know nothing can change what will happen.

We tell each other we love each other.

It is such a impactful thing being a carer to your spouse ....To anyone out there in similar situation sending strength

  • Hi Rhubarbdragon, just wanted to send loving wishes. I went through that with my mum many years ago. It was very sad and stressful as I was doing her care those last few months. But it’s obviously a whole different level when it’s your life partner. I really hope your husband can be there for your grandchild’s arrival, and that this time is as peaceful as possible. Will be thinking of you both. I hope you have support for yourself.
