Husband dying of Cancer

It happened so fast... It started with a normal cough that wouldn’t go away.. Before I could understand anything we where having test after test.. We had to stop the Chemo, His blood count is far to low as he was to weak, and now they tell me he has just 1/2 months to live.

Watching him weaken each day, is the hardest part of it all.. His nose hasn’t stopped bleeding for the last 3 days and it’s just blood transfusion after another..

The cancer has spread and there is nothing they can do, One thing I don’t understand - but I’m happy for is that he has no pain and also is there a sign his passing is close - I don’t want it to happen at the time I’m out to take him some food or runs some chores and Iam so scared.. He is angry most of the time, even telling me his family will take everything yet they never care for him as I do.. I feel scared and get no help.
