My son may be dying

[aloneinthenight]

Just that.

He has cancer, they have not been able to control it.

They have given him one last chemotherapy to see if it can turn a corner but his body may not be able to tolerate it and it may not work.

We have been told to prepare ourselves for him to deteriorate suddenly.

My husband can't be with us because my son also has Coronavirus so we are in isolation and he is with our other son.

My heart goes out to you and your poor son. As awful as it is, focus on being with him and shoring up his morale. Talk about good family moments, laugh together, cry together, talk about his plans for the future, his hopes and dreams, say the things you always wanted to say. Be strong for him and if he doesn't make it you will know that he felt safe and loved in his last moments. Courage.

Oh sweetheart. I’m so sorry. Keep talking to him about fun you’ve had together, play music and YouTube programmes through your phone together. Sing (if you can 😊). Hold his hand if you’re allowed. Sending you both love and strength xx

What an awful situation you are in OP. You are doing your absolute best under the crappy circumstances

Do you want to tell us about your son?

Prayers for strength, comfort and healing

So sorry OP. That sounds unbelievably horrible for you. We're here to listen and hand hold if you need to vent. Wishing you lots of strength, courage and hope x

He's nearly 14 and fearless and unstoppable.

He's been utterly remarkable throughout the last six months and continues to be.

He is the best of me.

I'm so sorry for you and your beautiful son OP. Thinking of you both and hoping things turn a corner

Oh OP. Words fail me but here for you and your beautiful, wonderful son. What a indescribably awful thing for you.

I am so sorry for you and your son you are in my prayers. I hope he will turn a corner soon - sending love and strength to you at this horrible horrible time 💐💐

Handhold, OP. I’m so, so sorry. Sending love to you and your fearless boy

Sending love to you and your boy. And to your DH and other DS who must feel awful not being able to be with you both.

Oh this is desperate. I am so sorry to hear this. Sending you all so much strength and courage and hope. 💐

I’m so sorry, this is heartbreaking. Sending you love and strength x

My gosh. No words can convey the heartbreak. Thinking of you.

You are in the absolute worst of times. We are here for you. Your son sounds brave and brilliant and you will be too. I have my fingers crossed for the chemo and am so glad he has you with him. Xx

Thinking of you

OP. I am praying to any God that will listen and action this for your son. I can't imagine the thoughts that flood your mind during this. Let alone during this and coupled with CV.

Would you like to tell us about your son? His talents, the sound of his laugh, his favourite film or sports.

Could you ask the staff if there is any pastoral care at hospital. Maybe they could arrange a 'care pack' for you with some clean clothes and other necessities?

My love to you both.

There's a hand here to hold 🤝

I am so very sorry, utterly beartbreaking, thinking of you, your lovely son and your family.
