MarionDearest Janet, I am so very sorry about your husband, Pete. Having walked your journey almost 4 years ago I can honestly say that in time the good memories will take over the bad and you will begin to live your new normal. Until that happens be good to yourself and continue to come here for help if you wish. The following is a poem that could be from Pete to you:
If I should be the first to go,
And leave you alone, my Dear,
Let not your heart be lonely,
Nor in your eyes a tear.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
I’ll not be far away,
With petals of love and tenderness,
I’ll pave for you the way.
To join me in our sanctuary,
And ne’er again we’ll part.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
I live within your heart.
Take joy again in living,
As you did in years gone by;
God knows what of he’s doing,
And not be questioned why.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
My life with you on earth
Each moment filled with happiness,
And love so few be worth.
I’ll be waiting for you Sweetheart
Where skys are ever blue,
With eager heart and open arms
Patiently, for you.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
May faith and my love keep.
Your soul filled with contentment
Eternally, I sleep.I am grieved to post this note that I said good-bye to my husband of over 40 years as advanced cholangiocarcinoma and its terrible effects took his life on Monday evening, October 6. Thanks to the help of dedicated hospice workers it was my privilege to be his caregiver in our home through his last moments. His death still feels shocking to me even though we knew it was inevitable. Both his life and his death have changed me, and I will never be the same. He has left me far too soon, and I miss him more than any words can say.
I thank the many contributors to this valuable forum. Your writing, as you questioned and described your situations, helped me to understand this illness in a way that allowed me to make better informed decisions during his care.
