Him first it failed I ssaid to myself thankgod now I know he will be with me forever but no they did something they don't do they offered again I begged pleaded cried for him not to go though it again as they said it was high chance of death but no his children help him sneak out behind my back and go for round 2 so I went back I live there again with in a week he had neutapenic sepcis massive heart attract in totes site care for 3 days till I switched his live machine off now I live a very lonely life  full of regret hart red for my children who in outraged him when they where not there for him like I was I have tried suicide to be together but survived now I have no way of being together till I die I just don't no where to turn anymore  I just so heartbroken can't be with out him

  • Hi.  You have both had tragedies in your life and I am so pleased you understand each other so well.  Please do keep in touch terril - with Paul and with any of us.   I know it is early days but I hope you slowly find your way through this.  Please  keep in touch and talk as often as you like and tell us how things are going.  It can be a difficult journey, sometimes two steps forward and one step back but slowly slowly I hope things will improve.  Sleep well terril.  Have a peaceful night.  Annie

  • Hello terril; so nice to hear from you again.  You are right, you have suffered more than your fair share of tragedy in your life.  I don't pretend to understand the whys and wherefores of what happens in our life - it just seems so horribly random sometimes and very unfair.  But what can we do - I know you are still very bitter at this time but it is not the fault of your children - they are suffering too and I don't think it makes you feel any better to blame them..  Tell me (and Paul) did you manage to get back to sleeping in your bed at the weekend?  You mentioned that it would be the first time you had done so since you lost your husband. I was thinking of you and wondering about it.  Sorry your Parkinsons is causing you such problems.  Sometimes I think life is like a card game - you get what you are given and you cannot swap it for something else; we just have to somehow cope with the hand we receive.  Please keep in touch.  Annie
