OJ, have lurked for a while, but just wanted to add my support and hope you all get through this somehow

(((((((oj))))))

Hello oj. You know - probably in his more lucid moments Steve wants to save you from what you're going through. So I'm sure that as well as having had enough himself he probably wanted it to end for you.

You've been so brave and strong through all this. He is so lucky that he's got you - try never to let go of that.

When you look back at all this you will see that part of what makes this stage so painful is that you are already grieving for the Steve that you have lost. When you know someone is going to die you start out on that road sooner than you think - then when they actually do die for a little while it's hard to accept that anything has changed. It's weird.

You know I'm sending you the best vibes I can but it's hard to imagine what this is like for you. {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Bloody Hell OJ. I just don;t know what to say. I'll be thinking of you all.

captainmummy · 22/02/2008 09:57

Don't know what to say OJ but - how much more can you take? You must be so strong.

Thinking of you.

((OJ)). Awful that the hospital aren't more compassionate about visiting given the circumstances.

onlyjoking9329 · 22/02/2008 12:06

Know that we are all thinking of you and wishing we could do something more useful than that.

Lots and lots of love and hugs,
