Re: [Stomach Cancer] Moving Dad   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #57 of 1564 |
Heather, I wish I could offer some words of comfort for you... But, this is not
easy. It is difficult. It's one day at a time, one foot in front of the other.
I hope the ex-BIL doesn't have to be in the picture anymore...


My husband would get confused, too, if he got too tired. I knew at night he was
tired when he handed me the remote. If it was close to ten o'clock, I usually
said it was time for bed...

Losing my husband to this nasty cancer is the hardest thing I will ever do in my
life. I had no idea how much it was going to hurt... It will be two weeks
tomorrow.

Lisa.

We watched as my SIL passed away from tongue cancer. We just kept saying that her dad was waiting for her (he passed away two years before) and that seemed to...
