well, that was sudden...

[CanadianJohn]

My wife, age 82, has been very lethargic for a few months, doesn't want to eat, sleeps a lot, no energy, etc.

On Sunday, she was okay, more or less, and we did a quick grocery shop.
On Monday, she was distinctly unwell, and we went to ER.
On Wednesday, she was moved to the cancer floor.
On Thursday, we were advised her cancer is terminal, and she has only a few months to live.

The children (all adults) are in shock. As am I, I suppose. She will be coming home as soon as the hospital finish all their tests, and I have to arrange palliative care, etc. Lots of things... making a bedroom downstairs, getting a walk-in shower installed.

Wow, my world has changed really quickly...

I am so sorry. Sending condolences to you and your family.

@CanadianJohn

So sorry to hear that John, I would imagine loosing a long term partner leaves a big gap in your life, make sure you take care of yourself and hope the grieving process isn’t to difficult

RIP your poor wife, that happened very quickly

I'm so very sorry John. I'm glad she passed peacefully.

This is very sad news. Thinking of you and your children. 💐

I am so sorry. Macmillan were a huge help to my step father in a similar situation. Sending you support.

I’m so very sorry for your loss John

Oh this is so sad to read. 💐I am very sorry for your loss CanadianJohn your world has been turned upside down and you must still be in shock. Look after yourself.

🤎 sending love xx

I'm so sorry flowers💐

So very sorry for your loss 💐

So very sorry for your loss, John. What a shock. I am praying for you and your children for strength through this time.

I'm sorry John. You and your dear wife will be in my prayers tonight. Seems as though you had a great love. Take care.

@CanadianJohn i am so sorry to read this, for you & your family, what a dreadful shock. 30 days is no time at all to come to terms & be prepared for the loss of your lifelong partner & mother to your children. I am really so very sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of your loss, please look after yourself John, and make sure that you keep eating and drinking - fill the fridge with ready meals if it's easier, or just keep going with tea and biscuits. My dad had to deal with the same thing just over a year ago - just keep on going however feels right for you and do whatever it takes to get through it, thinking of you, xx.

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💐💐

I'm so very sorry for your loss John. It sounds like your beloved Pamela had a peaceful passing in surroundings that were a comfort to her at the end. May her memory be a blessing. RIP Pamela 🙏

I'm so sorry to read your post @CanadianJohn

It's obviously a huge shock to everyone 😢

Please make memories, record her voice and if you can, get some video of her.

It's hard to find the right words, even though I lost my hubby 9 years ago today, so I'm sending you a big hug xxx

I’m very sorry for your loss

Hi @CanadianJohn. I'm so sorry to hear your news.
Would it help to tell us some things about her? Some memories?

That's sad news for you John. It was good that Pamela was not in pain. It must be such a dreadful shock to you and your DC though. Give yourself time to grieve and come to terms with your wife passing.

I'm so very sorry. I don't know what else to say.

I'm sorry John.

My condolences, John. Take things one day at a time. I'll be thinking of you.

My thoughts are with you, so very sad 😞

OP so sorry for your loss xx
