It's never easy.... I lost my dad to cancer, my brother to a brain tumor and now my eldest brother, he hasn't got long left. He's got prostate cancer but it is now in his bones, lungs and God knows where else. He's been given a few weeks at most but his wife hasn't told him this.... He thinks that he will be out and about soon :cry:
The family wants best for him and make what time he has left, the best possible. His daughter, who looks after the elderly and also those who are at 'end of life', wants to look after him. She want's to put a bed in her front room, so he can see outside, easy access for a wheel chair if he want's fresh air and shewants to make up lost time with her dad.... Yet again, his wife doesn't want this. She is more then happy for him to go into a nursing home or hospice, or even home (which is 2 flights of stairs and the flat is a building site).
It's a nightmare...and what hair I have left, is slowly being pulled out. It's tough keeping things together, keeping our mum strong (she will be losing her 3rd son) and other people happy. As the saying goes ' I don't know if I'm coming or going'. I guess I'm having a rant & rave...and so angry at my bros wife.
sorry...rant over. :(
