    Hi Julie,

    Sounds good to me, too. Kauai is my favorite of the islands. Relax and enjoy.
    You deserve and have earned it. :)

    Margaret & Lainy,

    I just posted on your other post Margaret. A get together with both of you this summer would be wonderful. I will keep it in mind. Lainy, let us know when the time gets nearer, when you will be there. Maybe there are others out there that would like to join us if it works out.

    I hope both of you are feeling better soon. Dealing with CC and widowhood are hard enough without all these other issues. I’ve been pretty luck that way. Physically I haven’t had any serious issues. Mentally is something else tho’. :)

    Take care ladies and know that I am thinking of you both and everyone else here, too.

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla

    Boudreau,

    I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. You are not alone. Yes, there are others who who have passed quickly. My husband died less than 2 months after his first trip to emergency. Until then he was living a full, active life. We thought he was healthy. He wasn’t officially diagnosised with CC until approximately 10 days before he passed away. Yes it is hard and yes it is shocking. Losing someone to this disease, especially so quickly isn’t easy. I try to remember him as he was before this all started and am greatful that he only suffered for a short time. I truely believe our loved ones are never far away. They are always near us and will be with us forever in our hearts and memories.

    I found this site a few days after he passed away. It has helped me in so many ways. Without this site and the wonderful people on it I don’t think I would have been able to deal with all of this. I still have some good days and some not so good, but I try to just take things as they come now, one day at a time.

    Keep coming back here. It really does help. Take care.

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla

    Sue,

    Just whine all you want or need to. We are all here to listen and do understand. My husband was never sick either. We were together almost 24/7 for over 40 year’s. He only suffered with this disease for 2 months, so it took me a long to time wrap my mind around what actually happened. This site was a god send for me at a time when I was really suffering.

    Just take everyday as it comes and make the most of it. You will be amazed at how strong you can be when you have to be. Remember that we are all here for you when you need to vent or be comforted. None of this is easy, but you will be OK. Thinking of you both and hoping for the best. Take care.

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla

    I found this site a few days after my husband passed away from CC. It all happened so quickly I didn’t know much about it. This site has help me to understand what & why this happened to him and the support I have gotten from all of the lovely people here has gotten me through and given me the strength to go on and to be able to help, educate and support others whose lives have been affected by this relatively rare disease.

    Ladies, You definately are not alone. I too share the feelings you have all expressed. I lost Jim very quickly in less than 2 months to this disease. He passed away almost 3 1/2 years ago and I still feel as all of you do. Some days are harder than others, but it is always there, just beneath the surface.
    some days I do OK and others the feelings just wash over me. There will always be an empty space in my heart. All we can do is continue to put one foot in front of the other and take things as they come, one day at a time. Knowing there are others who share our loss and feelings does help. Everyone take care and know you are not alone. Many of us are right there with you.

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla

    Oh Gavin,

    I’m so sorry to hear of the latest health problems your mum is experiencing. I know you will take good care of her and take care of yourself, also. Know that I am thinking of you and mum and hoping for things to get better soon.

    Lots of love & hugs for both of you from Wisconsin.

    Thank You for this. I needed it too. I agree, the first year we are too numb and after that it slowly sinks in that yes this is real and no they are not coming back, atleast not physically. Somehow, we do manage to get though it all. Just breathe. :)

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla
