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

She’ll take comfort knowing that you’re with her. I think she’s right - you’re a wonderful wife.

Cancer is an utter, utter bastard. I went through it with my beautiful, amazing Mum.

Sending love and light to you, your Dancing Queen and your beautiful boy xxxxx

so sorry you are losing your lovely wife. I hope there's nothing but peace for her now and that eventually you find your own peace. Thanks

Oh god San your posts have got me weeping for you all. Don’t remember this awful time, remember all the happiness and love and your wedding. You’ll always have your memories. Flowers

Thinking of you, her and your family this evening and hope her passing is peaceful. You have many people here who have never met you that are keeping you in their thoughts. I'm so sorry you're in this awful situation, life truly isn't fair.

Smotheroffive · 13/01/2019 20:20

Feeling the support and love here for you is amazing, and is making a difference for you, I know nothing is going to take the pain away, or the sadness on parting, but knowing you are not alone with it, and feeling the hand-holding for you can hopefully help carry you a little.

Continued thoughts and love for you all Flowers Brew and I hope you might enjoy some Cake

I'm sorry you're going through this. I've sat with both my dad and my Nan under the same circumstances and they were long days and nights as well.

MulticolourMophead · 13/01/2019 20:25

SanJunipero I'm so, so, sorry. For you, your DW and your son. Your love for each other is clear, and she'll know you are with her. Thanks

ThanosSavedMe · 13/01/2019 20:32

So sorry OP. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to grieve, don’t try to bottle it all in. Keep talking on here and in real life.

HappyHedgehog247 · 13/01/2019 20:39

I am so very sorry. Your DW sounds wonderful, and it sounds like the two of you shared a special love.

Wittow · 13/01/2019 20:41

So heartbreaking to read. Wishing you peace and strength to get through the coming days. Cancer is a complete bitch. xxx

Thinking of you and your dear wife. I hope things are as peaceful as they can be. You'll be in my thoughts x

All the love and strength in the world to you. I hope she's not in too much pain, I also hope you can focus on all the lovely happy memories. Love your username by the way. Very apt and the most moving black mirror I've ever seen. Xx

So sorry this is happening. Thinking of you

Miljah · 13/01/2019 21:26

The darkness is black. Black.

But a new dawn will come for for you and your son.

Thinking of what you and your family are going through. So sorry.

But one ending, however incomprehensibly devastating; can gently birth a new, though different beginning.

Xx
