On march 10 2001 we lost our oldest son, he was 27. it devestated us,my wife especially, her health went down hill from there. In nov 2007 my wife became very ill and drs at hosp said she had 6 weeks at best to live. She had 3 tumors on her brain,and a very large tumor in her abdomen we were completely devastated at this point. She wanted to try chemo and radiation ,as drs said it was posible she could go into remission. After chemo treatments she was extremely sick and after radiation all her hair fell out, after 9 months the only thing it done for her was make her extremely sick, yet it did prolong her life and time with loved ones, i would sit and talk to her and read to her, bible scriptures, and just reminiss from our younger years, i loved my wife dearly and didnt waste a moment to be with her in her final days, but she told me the treatments made her to sick to enjoy the xtra time it gave her. She passed sept 23, 2008 in the early evening hours. I cherrished all the i stayed home and sat talking with Vickie, it strengthed our love for each other many times over, Gacoboy, spend all the time you can with what time she has left and read,talk, remminess, cry, and love each other, Thank God for what time he gave you with her. , cause it truly was a blessing for me, and you will see in time every moment you spent with her will truly be a blessing for you.. my heart goes out for you brother and my prayers will go up for you. God Bless you .
Prayers for you and your family. Godspeed
Praying hard for both of you
We have been where you are now. However, we can understand your words, the words of expression of shock, devastation, grief, pain, and wondering about the future.
Even going through it, we still can't know how you feel, the emotions, the questions, the shock, and any other inner most questions, the wanting to do something, (as men want to fix things) and some things are beyond our capabilities, and only "GOD" can help and comfort, you both, and he will.
We ask, that "ALMIGHTY GOD" to guide, lead, comfort you and your LADY, as only he can do!
Spend time together, and allow one or two of her friends to come over and give you an hour or so to do things, like grocery shopping, cleaners, hair cut, you need a small time each week to allow you to clear your mind, and while out pick her up a card and even put your feelings in writing to her inside the card, her favorite candy, and maybe a small bouquet. It will make her smile and in turn you will smile also.
It will brighten both of your day, and she knows you are thinking of her...
In reality no one ever knows how the person going through this or the spouse that is going through really feels. This is a visual testimony for others to see how you really feel, and you deal with this part of life as they will watch you each and every part. However remember they are watching closely because they are trying to imagine that this could be their family. They also start wondering how would they respond, to this part of life.
May you and your "LADY", share much happiness together always...
May "GOD" bless her and you always...
