Rena,
I totally agree CC SUCKS! That said, I am hoping tomorrow is a better day for all of you. Just take it minute by minute if need be. Let us know how things are going.
Thinking of all of you and sending lots of love & hugs from Plymouth.
Darla
I too have to agree with all you have said Mary. I don’t have a death wish or anything, but am no longer afraid of dying either. Guess these are normal feelings for those of us who have experienced what we have as many of us have expressed this.
Glad to hear you are healing quickly and feeling so good so soon after your surgery. Take care & keep in touch when you can.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaOh Dear Peony,
I am so sorry it has come to this point. I have been where you are now and know what you are thinking and feeling. It’s not easy, but Dan’s comfort and peace are what’s important right now. The rest will all take care of itself. Just be there for him. That’s all you can do at this point.
None of this is easy, but trust me. You will be OK. We are all stronger than we ever thought we could be and everything will work itself out in time.
Just know that we are all here for you to help and support you in any way that we can.
Know that I am thinking of you and praying things will work out as they should.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaBob & Nancy,
I too just read about Jeff’s current issues. I was sorry to hear about this set back. Hoping this appointment will bring some better news. Thinking of you all.

DarlaHi Ginger,
Glad you have decided to join in. Sounds like you have some great support there and also good attitudes. Hoping things keep going well for you. Keep up the good work. Between the two of you and all of us here, you can’t lose.

Thinking of you and your family and hoping for more positive news about your dad’s condition very soon.

DarlaHans,
What a lovely post. We all miss her here, too. I never met her in person, but feel like I knew her well. She is greatly missed by so many. Thinking of her and of you too Hans and hope you are doing OK.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaWow! Good to hear from you Mary and also Hans. I have to say I feel much the same as all of you. It has been 4 years for me and although I miss Jim so very much I like the word lighter. Yes, it does seem to get lighter. The pain & sadness are lighter and the memories are still there to comfort me when I am feeling down. None of us really wanted or expected to be single and alone, but we are all stronger than we think we are and we can do this, dealing with whatever life brings us, one day at a time.
Everyone take care.Love & Hugs,
DarlaRena,
I understand exactly how your mom is feeling. It is scary, but dealing with everything that happens on a daily basis sometimes kept me too busy to even think about it. You are a wonderful daughter and I am sure that your parents appreciate all the help and support you are giving them. It isn’t easy on any of the family, but yes, all you can do is take things one day at a time. That has always been my motto. Take care and let us know how things are going.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaInmemoryofdad,
What a beautiful story. I too am a believer and have had several “visits” from Jim. I’m sure your mom and dad wanted you to know they are together and that it is OK. I also picture them smiling and doing the Lindy.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaHi Rena,
Your story has really touched my heart. The way you describe your mom & dad reminds me so much of my husband and I. I lost him to CC 4 years ago and believe me, I do know what your mom is feeling and going through. I still miss him so very much.
I have seen so many things change in the past 4 years. There is more known now about CC than there was then and many new treatment options are available. I am hoping your dad will do well with whatever treatment he decides on.
I am in Plymouth, WI about 2 hours from Madison. I am sure it is hard on you too not being nearer to your mom & dad right now.
Please stay in touch and let us know how things are going. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love & Hugs,
Darlainmemoryofdad,
I am sorry you lost your dear dad to this disease, but you seem to have done everything right and are dealing with things as best you can. I’m glad you decided to join us and tell us your story.
I’m sure dad will be there on Thanksgiving, only in a different way. He will always be with you in you heart and your memories.
Take care and please come back often and share your feelings with us. We understand and we care.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaDear Lindsy,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother-in-law’s passing. My husband went quickly too. He died only 7 weeks after having his first indication that anything was wrong. Only 10 days after we had a confirmed diagnosis. I try to take comfort, and hope you can too, in the fact that they did not have to suffer too long and are now in a better place.
Thinking of you and your family at this sad and trying time.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaKristin,
I am so glad you have come to find this site. You will find there is so much support, information and love on here. Although all experiences differ we are all dealing with CC in one way or another. I lost my husband to CC at the age of 62. I can’t speak for my boys, but do know that it has affected them greatly, in different ways. I am sure you will be hearing from others who are dealing with the loss of a parent shortly. Our Dr. Giles is also a good place to go for answers and help. Take care and keep in touch.
Love & Hugs,
Darla
