Watching the person you love die is never easy. But knowing that your Dad can live those last days in dignity and comfort and that you will be able to care compassionately for your him and within the circle of your family, will be a great solace to you
Many people use these days to take advantage of this time together. They may take turns with the patient, holding hands, talking to him/or her, or sit just quietly. This is a chance for many families and friends to express their love and appreciation for your Dad. You will know how to handle this as you are so carefully watching him and therefore, are able to get the signs as to what feels best to him.You are doing everything you can Rank and my heart is with you and your entire family
Dear CS….welcome to our CC family and thank you so much for sharing your Mom’s story. Please, feel free to ask the questions close to your heart as your support system is in place with us. I am hoping for your Mom to be relieved of the fluid build up and that she will regain her strengths for the next treatments coming her way.
Sending tons of hugs and strengths your way,
MarionKris….there is no stopping us ….we are not going away. And don’t forget: the most wonderful people are on this site. This is what makes the Foundation each and everyone of you, included.
Love to allDarla..My heart goes out to you and I can relate so well. My husband also was 62 years old when this cancer took him and not a day goes by without me wanting ….my old life back, with him. Somehow, we manage to evolve and learn to adapt to our new and so unwanted circumstances at times….for minutes….at times for days….where we find comfort with thoughts, happenings, or reveling in fond memories. Everyday, I remember how fortunate I have been to have lived these wonderful years with him thus gaining strengths through cherishing the fingerprints he left in my heart and soul. My children have heard me say this many time……this cancer took Dad but, it will not take us. My heart is with yours and I am hoping for it to heal….one day at a time.
Hugs
MarionThanks Gavin…when clicking on “Search Forum” and then enter Ron Smith under “author” you will be able to see his postings. Just in case you want to take a look.
Thanks Lainy….there might very well be something in your neighborhood. Will be great to meet you, personally.
Gavin….what a wonderful post and don’t appologize about the lengths of it because, everything you mentioned is important. So glad for you to have found us and have joined us and have shared with us your story. You are a wonderful addition to our family. I am sure of many wonderful responses coming your way.
MarionDarla….thank you for this information. Others may be able to pass this on to their treating physicians as they themselves may not be aware of this. You are one reason for this board being as successful as is…sharing important information. How is your Mom coming along?
MarionLisa…please, don’t hesitate to ask your doctor these questions. You are your own advocate, it is your body, and it is your cancer. I believe, at times, some physicians don’t want to bring up anything they themselves are not too sure of and if patients don’t ask, they simply won’t talk. It might also help to take along someone who will speak for you at these visits. Hoping for this irritating infection to be eliminated real soon and for your questions to be answered.
MarionColleen…..so very sorry to hear of your wonderful husband and Dad to have joined those who have left us. Some day, the memories will become your treasures. Hoping for your heart to heal …one day at a time. All my love to you and your family.
MarionDear Joyce,
My heart goes out to you and Butch at this very special time. Although, it may take time, acceptance can bring feelings of peace allowing you to live each day more fully.
Tons of hugs to you and Butch.
MarionHello psanders.. and welcome to the board. There have been several postings in re: to lung mets. Until others have a chance to respond you might want to read up on some of those threads.
