Morning OJ and family - just sending love xx

thanks for all the messages sorry I havent had time to read them yet. I lay by steves side all night listening to his breathing never sure when it would stop the silence between each breath is longer andeach breath seems like the last. I don't think he is in pain but every so often a tear runs down his face.
I am so proud of Steve and I really shouldn't have been surprised that he hung on for the girls birthday.
I know we should be grateful that we are getting the chance to say goodbye, we have had ten months of knowing it would happen but it feels like it has been 10 months of torture and no light at the end of it. I need to be stronger.

Morning OJ & family -leaving morning hugs.

OJ-how sweet of your night carer to offer to keep in touch -I only met her for a few moments but could see she is such a lovely person & to have that support later from someone who has become a friend will be lovely.

OJ - so glad to read that you had such a good day yesterday, 'bittersweet' sounds exactly right.
Wishing you peace and strength x

You can not be any stronger than you already are.

I am filling up at the thoughts of Steve, shedding a tear.

Much love

Morning OJ, so when I read about the tears. Hugs to you all and wishing you peace and strength today. xx

Oh love. You are so incredibly strong. Crying and feeling sad is a necessary part of what you are all going through. It doesn't mean that you are not strong.

Hugs OJ.

And when you are not feeling strong you can lean on each and every one of us if you need to.

oh OJ,
well, what vaggy said, really.
you are an amazing woman.
in the light of incredibly testing times, you have shown us all what courage really is.
love and prayers, D xxxx

Good morning, OJ. The sporadic breathing stage is such a tough one. I know that with my nans, I almost ended up matching their breathing, holding my breath waiting for the next one.

I don't have many words, but just remember that hearing is the last of the senses to go, and the first to come back. Speak to Steve and tell him all the things you want him to know before he dies.

Lots of love xx

Good Morning.

So glad your having this peaceful time together, the memories you are making will be the best they can be.

Strength for the day ahead.x.x.x.

MOrning OJ, I dont usually post on your threads but check them at every opportunity.

You are such a strong loving woman and have so much dignity.

You truely are an inspration to us all and an amazing woman, mother and wife.

I am so glad you have had this last weekend to make some lovely memories that will stay with you all forever.

Steve is amazing hanging in there for the girls birthday and your special fathers day.

Lots of love to you all xxx

Crikey OJ, don't be so hard on yourself, when you are grieving, which you already are, really, I find a really hard cry actually relieves that knot of utter sadness a little bit each time.

This must be so hard for you, I can't imagine it, the deaths I have grieved have all been sudden, tragic ones, I can't think which is worse actually, but waiting and watching must be torture.

You have been so strong, but you must think about you sometimes too, let yourself feel it or it wont ever ease and you need to one day be able to think and talk about Steve without the utter heartbreak, and you will be able to one day, and remember all these happy memories you've created.

Morning OJ.

Lovie, I don't think you could be any stronger. No one could get through the days and weeks and months that you have, knowing the love of your life is going to die, without some tears.

You really are an inspiration to us all and I thank you for sharing all you have and for making all of us realise what is important and appreciating all that we have.

We have all shared a tiny bit of what you have been going through and shed many tears for the cruel situation you are all in.

Steve is an amazing man. He loves you all so much he has fought to spend every last special day with you all that he can. And he has done it for the children's birthdays.

I am sure I am saying all the wrong things and I apologise for that.

You are the last person I think off before I go to bed and the first in the morning and somewhere, there is always someone thinking of you.

Much love. N x
