Dear devastated — wrap each other in your arms and cherish this time. Hospice will help take the strain off you so you can dedicate yourselves to each other. I am thinking of you.
Love, DianeWhat a precious and thoughtful granddaughter you are, Elsy. Wrapping my cyber-arms around you.

DianeDear Margaret — the words you’ve posted are beautiful. How blessed you two were to have such an unbreakable bond of love. Ill will keep you in my thoughts.
Love, DianeDear Byron,
I’m sure I speak for those here on the site when I say you’ve been missed. You’re such an upbeat, positive person. I really did wonder what on earth had happened.Your advice on contacting the physician when things aren’t right is certainly spot on. I’m so happy that you were able to have the surgery you needed. (As if having CCA isn’t enough, eh?)
Wishing you well,
DianeWelcome to our family Moo. We’re a friendly bunch here. There is a wealth of knowledge, experience, and understanding on this site.
xoxo
DianeDear Mary,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Lainy’s Teddy is going to have a full table this Thanksgiving. Tom will be welcomed with open arms.
Love,
DianeDear Kathy, my heart is aching for you. You’re going through so much. I’m glad your daughter talked with her aunt. This isn’t about your sister. This is about your father, and he has made his wishes clear. What’s to discuss?!
I’m glad you are able to spend some alone time with dad.
I’m thinking of you,
DianeDear Margaret – I’m glad you’re writing your thoughts and feelings during this difficult time. It does seem to help clear the mind. We can relate to what you’re going through. I’m particularly supportive of your role as Tom’s wife. When everyone else has gone home, it’s Tom and you. You know best, Margaret, so try to stay tough.
I worry about your health and the kidney stone. Please call your doctor.
You and Tom are in my thoughts.
With love,
DianeMy sincere sympathy to you, Becky, and to your family. How blessed your mother was to have you all surrounding her. Thinking of you.

DianeDear JG – I’m sorry to hear about your mom. How difficult to watch her struggle with this disease. You’re under a ton of stress with all this going on. Feel free to come here to vent. It’s a place of understanding, empathy, and support.
Is hospice able to take care of her ostomy supplies and changes? My husband had a colostomy for a time many years ago. It was hard on his skin under the wafer, and the bag kept wanting to break loose, which was why he didn’t want to leave the house. There are support websites for ostomates which may be helpful for you.
I’m glad your aunt is able to share the responsibilities. So much on your plate JG. Try to take at least a tiny bit of time for yourself (easier said than done I know).
Come here often!

DianeDear Michelle – I, like Pam, cried at the video. The music was so moving. Clearly, you had an extraordinary relationship with your mom. Thank you for sharing the news article and video with us. It helps us to know you and your family.
My heart aches for you,
DianeDear Becky,
You and your mom have been in my heart and mind, and continue to be. You are an extraordinary and loving daughter.
Thinking of you with love,
DianeDear Margaret,
Such a bittersweet reuniting of family members. I’m glad it happened for all of them.
Having Tom home with hospice care will be a relief for you. You can spend 24/7 with each other, and hopefully with the meds, Tom will be comfortable.
Thinking of you both,
xoxo
DianeDear Christine — you’ve found your way to this outstanding website where you will receive understanding, support, and a wealth of knowledge. Welcome. Please come here often. I’m sorry you have been slammed so hard, first with your sister’s death, and now with CC.
xoxo
DianeDear Debbie — I’m so sorry your precious Ric has passed. You and your family are devasted I know.
You’ve been on a long journey over the past number of years. You now have a journey of your own, and it takes a long time to realize healing is taking hold.
The members of this site are absolutely wonderful. We’re all here to support one another. Your children are also part of our community. Feel free to express your thoughts and experiences here.
With empathy and love,
Diane
