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.

SanJunipero still here forefor, if you need a hand-holding. Yes, you did make it clear you are a woman, I certainly read that.

Take care, focus on all those happy times together all the special moments, you share a wonderful new life in your DS. Her passing will be such a huge loss, make sure you keep turning to those around you for support and continued love, even when everything seems to have moved on for then and you just miss her....💕
