Well I'm sitting here with my 8 yr old son literally waiting for his father, my husband, to leave us. Only 8 months after diagnosis and here we are. This really hurts and is so unfair. No more to say really
Oh, I am so sorry to be reading this, you must be, undersrandably, completely distraught. This awful disease affects so many of us in such terrible ways. I have been in your position with 3 little children many years ago and I know nothing I can say will help. Please try to surround yoursrlf with friends and family for as long as you can.
Please come on here and talk to us anytime, we all understand the grief that is caused by this disease and are always here to listen. Thinking of you. x
I am so very sorry. My job involves dealing with the affairs of the deceased, but on the whole they are old and have lived a long life. That your husband hasn't seems to be so unfair.
Someone once said to me - look at a paint spot on the canvas of a painting. All we see, here in our temporal existence, is that infinitesimally small spot of colour, whereas if we were able to put an infinite distance between ourself and that spot we would see a work of breath-taking beauty, made up of tiny paint spots of equal beauty. That is your husband within the infinite.
Love and strength and every blessing to you and your children xxxx
So incrediblly sad to read your heartfelt post. No words can help at times like this but take strength from your family and friends in the hours/days/weeks ahead. Virtual hugs to you both during your loving vigil.Jules54
