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.

My heart is breaking for you OP. 💐

I'm so, so sorry. I will pray for you and your family. I pray that it is peaceful for you both and that you find some strength in the coming days xxx

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Xxx

Oh my love. Keep talking to her. Even at the very end my late DH heard me tell him that he could go peacefully as I and our DCs would be fine. I am sure I saw him breath a small sigh of relief. Thinking of you Flowers

Smotheroffive · 13/01/2019 13:53

So cruel for you all. I hope you all find your peace soon and can be released from this suffering. I guess your DS is just a toddler which might be difficult to have around DM as she passes? Love to you all.

So glad something can help.

I am so sorry. The 3 of you will be in my thoughts ❤️

Still thinking of you. x

Thinking of you all. You sound so amazing, both of you. It is such a hard time. Just keep telling her how much you love her. In time the memory of today will help you, when you think of the music and the chance you had to say goodbye. I hope you have some family beside you today IRL. Much love

Thinking of you sanjunipero I wish you all the strength in the world to get through the coming hours and days.
Much love Flowers

This has really put every little worry I have into perspective. I'm sending you nothing but love right now. The love you write about is clear for all to see and it is Beautiful. Wishing her a peaceful passing xxx

Thinking of you OP and sending much love to you.

labazsisgoingmad · 13/01/2019 15:10

cancer is so unfair she will hear you hospices are wonderful places when my father was in the nurses told me to talk to him which i did i knew he didnt want to leave me but i told him gently its ok you can go now and be with mum then not long after he took his last breath. a lot of nurses will tell you people hang on then when a person steps out the room for a minute they leave us because they dont want to upset us life is very unfair sometimes i send love and blessings to you both

TidyDancer · 13/01/2019 15:12

Sending lots of love to you all. I'm so sorry you're going through this. ❤️ 💐

Still thinking about you all, SJ. Keep talking to and touching your Dancing Queen. Keep holding on to your Dancing Boy. Eat, rest and drink a little, if you can. They need you to keep your strength up. Flowers
