Dear Sam,
It sounds like you are at peace with your decision and I hope that your dad will pass peacefully and comfortably. Please keep in touch and let us know how things have gone. Thinking of you all.

DarlaCatherine,
This is definitely good news! Enjoy that vacation and I too hope there will be many more.

DarlaDear Carrie,
You and your family have my deepest sympathy. I totally understand how you are feeling and what you have gone through as our situation was much the same. My husband was 62 and we had been married 41 years. He also went quickly, less than 2 months. Thinking back I now realize that for him it was a blessing that he went so quickly and did not have to suffer for too long, but at the time I felt much like you and your family are feeling right now. It is much harder on those of us left behind to deal with the reality of it all.
Unfortunately so many here also know what it is like. Yes, too many are losing the battle, but in the past few years I have seen some positive things happening too and am hoping that some day there will be a way to prevent or cure this awful disease.
Keep your father with you forever in your heart and memories and know that you have help and support here from people who have been there and truly understand.
My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad and trying time.
With Love & Hugs,
DarlaDear Judy, My thoughts and prayers are with you and Ron. Hoping for comfort & peace for you both as you go through these trying times.
I’m glad you decided on hospice. Now you will get the help & support you need and Ron will be kept comfortable and as pain free as possible.

DarlaDear Nancy,
I wish you strength in the coming year also. Slowly these feelings will continue to change. You will always have a feeling of part of you being gone, but more and more the good memories of your life will Frank will over take the sadness and emptiness you are feeling. It never totally goes away, but it truly does get better in time. Just take it one day at a time.
Hugs,

DarlaDear John,
I am so sorry for your loss and deeply saddened by the progression that lead to her passing. Yes, only time will help to ease your pain. No one knows why things go they way they do, but you do have some valid thoughts and questions. Yes, you do deserve answers and in time I am hoping you will get some. Although it will not change things, it may be of help to others in the future.
In time I am hoping your heart will heal and you will be able to take some comfort in the good memories of the past. Keep her with you forever in your heart and those memories. Slowly the others will fade.
Please feel free to come back now & then. Know that we are here to help and support you in any way that we can.
Thinking of you and your family at this sad and trying time.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaDear Tom,
Thank you for sharing this with all of us. I am so sorry for your loss, but am also relieved that Ben is no longer suffering and that his passing was calm and peaceful and he was kept comfortable throughout.
Yes Ben was strong, but your strength in all of this also shows through. Your love for him can be felt through all you have posted.
You and all who loved and cared for him have my deepest sympathy. I know that knowing that he is no longer suffering and in pain does not make it any easier for you, but try to stay strong and kept him with you forever in your heart and the wonderful memories of the life that you shared.
Thinking of you and sharing your sadness. Take care and come back here often. We are all here for you to help and support you in any way that we can.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaTom & Ben,
I am so sorry to hear that it has come to this. Know that I am thinking of you both and hoping that you are able to have some special time together and that Ben’s pain can be kept under control. Please let us know how things are going when you can. We are here for you.
Hugs,
Darla
