I know there may be more specific sites to put this thread but I can't bring myself to go there
DH is in hospital with Leukaemia- and for the past few weeks has had a chest infection
Now he has 2 chest infections
I have been visiting x2 a day but not since Thursday as I got Covid (for the first time)
The Macmillan nurse has just rung asking me to do a test as the Dr wants to have an conversation' and it might be easier if I am there
Of course I am still testing positive
I tried to get details out of her but all she would say is that it is a serious conversation
Dr is due to ring me soon
I feel sick with nerves and so guilty that I am not there
He is 49
I really need a hand hold

Sending you a very big unMumsnetty hug, I'm so very sorry.

I am so very sorry for your devastating loss.
If it is of any comfort at all I have known several palliative care nurses who have said it’s very common for their patients to “ leave on their own terms”
I hope with time you will feel peace in your heart. Lean on your friends, ask for help if you need it and always remember how much your husband loved you. 💐

I'm so so sorry. You must be in shock with the speed that everything happened the last few days.

I'm glad you had those moments to say good bye; my heart goes out to you & DS💐

Oh no! Not the update I was hoping for or expecting - there are NO words - I was thinking about you all last night - how can we care so much about a stranger on the internet? And yet we do, we really honestly do. I am so desperately sorry
