My wife is dying

My beautiful, wonderful wife is only 33 and I'm sitting next to her bed in the hospice tonight watching her die. She's had cancer for a long time and I knew this was coming, but it's so very hard to watch.

I’m so sorry. Flowers

Take care of yourself. Do whatever you want, there are no rules, grief hits us all very differently.

I don't have any words of comfort but just wanted to be another voice for you. I'm so sorry for what has happened xxx

I'm so so sorry for your loss. How utterly heart breaking for you. I hope it is of some small comfort that there are so many people here for you and thinking of you. You are in my thoughts xxxx

My heart is sore for you and your son @SanJunipero. You're both in my thoughts, with much love.

Truly sorry for your loss. Words aren't enough Flowers

BBInGinDrinking · 16/01/2019 16:32

Hello again, SJ. I felt last night that she had gone, especially when you didn't post in the darkest hours as usual.

It is the shock, carrying you forward at the moment, continuing such loving acts like washing her clothes.

I am thinking of you, your DW, your son, close family and friends, and sending you a very strong hug. I hope that you are supported IRL, but the thread and PMs are here if needed or just wanted. Equally, don't feel any pressure to post at all.

You did your beloved proud, SJ, when she needed you most. She felt herself beloved on the Earth, in life and in her passing. I am very sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace.

We're here for you still, for as much or as little as you need. If that's a rant, fine, if it's to talk and her, we'd be honoured, if it's for more practical matters, I am sure someone here will know.

Be kind to yourself and don't be afraid to ask well meaning people for real life help if you need it 💐

brizzledrizzle · 16/01/2019 17:30
