Had paramedics out to dh this morning as he fell and i couldnt get him up safely. Hes now completely bedbound and slurring his words. I think he will be gone within the next week... im completely devastated as it is now sinking in that hes actually going to leave me. My head understood the terminal diagnosis but my heart never truly believed it.

Ludoole so very sorry to hear of your sad news. I hope there is comfort for you and your boys, if not now, then later, that your DH died at home as he wished

My thoughtThanks for you and yours are from what I see in my garden: bougainvillea and crucifix orchids. I wish you strength for now, and know the hope and joy will be there in the memories of your lovely DH and the boys' splendid dad.

I'm very sorry for your terrible loss Ludoole. It's a long time now since I lost my mother and then, 6 years later, my then DP but I well remember the sense of loss, but also of being lost.
Wishing you and your boys strength and love Flowers

I am so very sorry. You will be in shock for quite some time. Even though you know it is going to happen you are still not prepared. Getting up, breathing, putting one foot in front of the other is enough for now. Much love to you and your boys xxx
