I'm sorry to hear about your husband and how this is affecting you. Seeing a loved one receiving hospice care is incredibly difficult, so it's natural to feel all sorts of emotions and to feel helpless in this situation. It's important at this time to be kind to yourself and reach out to people close to you and your husband's care team when you need support. We have some guidance on our website around caring for the carer when someone is dying, which I hope will be helpful to you. Also, the forum is always here for you whenever you need to talk.
This is what Im dreading, Anxious-Annie. My husband is having one last shot at radiotherapy after living eight years with terminal lung cancer (initially six-month prognosis), over which time he has become weaker and weaker and cognitively disordered because of one particular drug. His miracle immunotherapy drug has stopped working, and he does not realise how much his life is limited now, and I have decided to not tell him until the realisation dawns on him. I also feel sad and helpless. Do you want to talk about it? Caring wishes to you.
friends i thought would be there for me weren’t. I stayedin the house for 5 months, didnt want to see anyone. I felt terribly angry with the world. My kids, have been wonderful. Wouldn’t have survived without them. I’ve am just starting to go out and have made some new friends,
thought i was getting my life back into some kind of normal, but feeling terribly lonely and alone, then my 95 year old mum gets ill, she is home now from hospital but is refusing to let the carers in and demanding i go there every day. she is shouting at me and stamping her feet - i think its the start of dementia.
i’ve got dreadful insomnia again with all the worry.
thank you for asking both and i hopeyou are ok Maria88 - is your hubby still witb you? love and hugsxxx
