Quick! What do the girls like?

Is this ok? I think you said one of them liked to watch it.

Is that everyone sorted?

Not forgetting the carers!

Morning OJ.

The weather suits my mood today. Chucking it down with rain while I feel like dissolving into floods of tears.

I hope Biggles did his job and moved lots. Maybe even flew.

Take care my lovely, and when you have a minute I need to text you a question. No rush though. Anytime.

Thinking of you all. x

OJ, another post where I'm not sure what to say.....

When you feel ready, let Steve know you are ready for him to go, wish him a safe journey, and let him know there will be a time when you are all together again.

Hold him, stroke him and talk to him until your hands and throat are sore. I truly believe he can still feel you and hear you.

Wishing you love and strength for the hours and days to come xx

ILiketomove it move it - that is a post that I wanted to say yesterday, but didn't have the courage.

OJ, I have looked after many patients at the end of their life. I can't explain it, but some of them do seem to need 'permission' to die.

I hope that you managed some rest yesterday, and that you and Steve can have a good talk today, even if he doesn't say a great deal.

PhoenixCymru · 03/06/2008 07:55

You are always in my thoughts and prayers OJ. When Steve is ready to go, it will be in a home full of love, with the people he chose to spend his last few weeks- his amazing wife and three fabulous children. I hope you all managed a peaceful night and have a beautiful day together.

kayzisexpecting · 03/06/2008 07:58

Morning,

I hope that last night was a quiet and peaceful night.

I hope you can have a good day and make some more memories.

Morning OJ - hope you have a good day.

throckenholt · 03/06/2008 08:10

Hi OJ - I have been away for two weeks - and I am amazed Steve has hung on this long (just before I left you were worried he would not make it through the night)- he must be very strong and really not wanting to leave his lovely family.

I agree with the others - tell him he can go when he is ready (and maybe remind him it is the girls birthday on Saturday and it would be so sad if he goes then).

Best wishes for the next phase.

VaginaShmergina · 03/06/2008 08:19

Morning, sending you all love and hoping your night was a quiet one. x

alibubbles · 03/06/2008 08:32

I came across a website about death and dying recently when looking for inspiration to help a close friend. I think this is a lovely way to express what you and Steve are going through -

When we have done all the work we were sent to do, we are allowed to shed our bodies, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the butterfly and when the time is right we can let go of it. Then we will be free of pain, free of fears and free of worries-- free as a beautiful butterfly returning home to God....

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Take care, we are all here for you
