Hi

My ex was diagnosed with AML last June and has battled bravely, but sadly, he is now dying. I have been with him since June supporting him through this. Since January, I have been staying at his home, hospice nurses are fantastic, visiting everyday. He is getting very weak and sleeping most of the time. It's very challenging as family can't visit, we have 4 grandkids under 6, and I ache for them as I watched them all a couple of days a week, but stopped in January as my ex needed more attention.

I miss my home, my 21 year old is now home alone. We group chat everyday.

My ex is very content and we both take it a day at a time. We have become very close again and are soulmates, my kids and grandkids have built bridges with him, and have good, close relationship with him now. We are all very caring and he feels our love. We count our blessings, still have a good laugh, and just take it a day at a time. It is heart breaking seeing him waste away, but a gentle touch or soft massage brings him so much comfort, and I feel humbled and blessed that I am with him.

Stay strong everyone and take comfort from the simplest things x
