Sistercorb,
I too am sorry to hear this sad news. No words can ease your pain and sorrow, but know that he will be with you forever in your heart and memories. Be comforted in knowing that he is no longer suffering or in pain. He is now at peace.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaI have to agree with everyone else. There doesn’t seem to be anything about this disease that can be really explained. Shortly after Jim passed away I was talking to a friend, explaining what he had and how rare it was and she said her younger brother who passed away several years earlier also had CC.
Then a couple walks into the shop and asked for Jim. When I explained he had passed away from a rare form of cancer, they asked what it was and it turns out the husband who was in his 70’s also was diagnoised with CC but was going to be having surgery. They were very hopeful as they said the doctor felt he could be cured. Needless to say that after going through what we had I found this very hard to believe, but didn’t tell them that. Just wished them the best. I never saw them or heard from them after that, so I have no idea if his surgery was successful or what the out come was. I often wonder though.
Jenny,
You don’t sound completely crazy. You are normal and doing the best you can. My sons graduation was a few months after my husband passed away and I felt just as you do. We tried to remind ourselves that although Jim was not there physically, he was there with us in spirit as Jeff will be there with all of you in spirit and in your hearts. And know that he is very proud of all of you.
Congratulations to your daughter. Enjoy the day as best you can. Take care. Thinking of you.
Love & Hugs,

Everything you said is so true. Thanks for including that old post. It is beautiful and expresses what so many of us on this journey are feeling.Margaret,
It sounds like you have the blood clot situation under control. I have to agree, the nights are still the hardest and more so at this time of year when they are so long. Just take it as it comes. One day at a time. Thinking of you.

DarlaHi Sue,
If I remember correctly, if you go to introductions and then click on “post new topic” near the top on right hand side you can start a new topic for your introduction.
I’m sorry you had to join us but am glad you did. None of us wanted to be here but are all greatful we found this site.
This is not a journey anyone wants to be on, but you are in good company here. We all understand and we all care.
Let us know how your husband is doing and feel free to talk about or ask anything that you want. There is always someone who can help.
Hope to hear more from you soon.
Take care,
DarlaApparently it’s not just a UK thing. I just noticed the same thing and will go for double spacing too.
Dear Margaret,
I too will be thinking of you and your family. That was a beautiful post. My first signs from Jim were blinking lights and other electric things. Yes, you will see more signs as long as you are open to them and I know you are.
Take care Margaret. Come back and let us know how you are doing when you can.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaByron,
You had an interesting, scary month. Glad it all turned out OK and you are back here sharing with all of us.
Darla
Oh Kathy, You are definately not alone. I also had to deal with similar issues. Everyone is already under enough stress without having to deal with all of this, too. Hang in there and do what you feel is right. Your dad’s wishes are what is most important. The rest will all work itself out one way or another. Take care. Thinking of you.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaOh Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. We have lost 2 of our Tom’s in the past few day’s.
He did put up a good fight and got a lot more time than he was told, but no matter what we are told we are never ready for it when it actually happens. It is good that he wasn’t in pain and passed quickly. He no longer has to fight this battle and he will always be with you in your heart and memories. Know that I am thinking of you and your family.With Love & Hugs,
Darla
