Thank you all for your kind expressions of sympathy. There was a memorial dinner in Florida and after cermation my daughter and I drove our trailer and my husband’s ashes back to New Jersey where we are planning another memorial for family and friends. I will be glad when all this is over. Everything has happened so fast I have not really had time to absorb it all. I feel so in a fog. I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and hope it lands in the right place. I miss Rob so. I know he is in a better place, but I just keep thinking he will call or somehow I will hear from him other than the memories in my heart.
KarenMagic,
Both sides of the coin are certainly welcome here. People get hope from the posts of “good” news and can relate so easily with the tragic, sad news. Please, if it helps you to grieve and mourn by posting here there are many of “ears” to hear and help support you.
Peace,
KarenPam,
Thank you for sharing the journey you are walking. I sit here in tears reading about the love that is so plentiful in your family. I am so happy for you that Mom was lucid for the talks of importance as it will help you to proceed in future decisions.
Peace,
KarenTim,
Prayers to the person at your company who has this devastating cancer and I would like to say how kind it is that you are attempting to raise funds to help out. What a truly unselfish gesture. Thank you for your input to try and help people dealing with grief management of one form or the other.
Peace,
KarenPam,
Prayers coming your way. You are a truly wonderful person. The sacrifices you continue to make for your family are uplifting.
Stay safe on the highway.
Peace,
KarenDear Lulu,
My prayers of comfort for you and your family. I remember you contacting me when you joined this forum. I know the fight you have all been fighting and it is debilitating for the whole family. Somebody once said that it is not just the one person that gets the cancer, but the whole family that is so affected with it. Lean on each other and try to remember the happier times.
Peace,
KarenDear Carol,
I can totally empathize with you. I too am watching my husband and best friend waste away. The other day he stood up and his pants just fell to the floor, mind you they were buttoned and belted. He has terrible pain, but no tumors can be found to treat. He has had three rounds of Cyberknife treatment (all in different areas) and I sometimes wonder if the pain is nerve damage from the extreme radiation. We are going to a new pain management doctor today as the last one could not help the pain to subside. The weight is just melting off of him. He does eat and drink Ensure, but he is loosing weight. He sleeps most of the time…I used to think it was the pain meds, but I think he has no stamina left.We left our home in New Jersey in December to have a 5 month mini retirement in Florida knowing that we were not going to be able to enjoy each others company when retirement age will actually be reached. December was good…we went boating and riding dual sport bikes and watching the waters of the Gulf together, but I could see the fatigue. January and February to date have been so painful for him. This is a very heartbreaking process to watch. I pray constantly that his pain goes away.
I am sorry for babbling on. I just want to let you know that I feel your pain as I do my own. You are not alone. I ask the Lord to give me the strength to take care of Rob and make his journey as easy as possible. I will pray this for you and your family as well.
Lord, please help man to find a cure for this and all cancers and until that can happen, please provide comfort to the suffering.
