  8. OMG, Lynne! What a gift to hear from you! I think of you so often. Thank you for this post! It means the world to me. Please be well and happy, my dear friend. P
  9. My dear friend and neighbor, Your load is heavy. You are understandably tired. You care about everyone. Life can be so very unfair. It is unfair for you to have so much going on. I admire so much your concern for all of us and for your cancer group friends. You even care about my cold. Sometimes the mundane crapt (like garbage cans and refrigerators) is just overwhelming when your heart is consumed w/ truly huge feelings and thoughts. Frank and his family are in my fervent prayer. You are on my mind and in my heart. Please know how much you are loved and respected. Give yourself a big REST and a big deep sigh and a soft look into your head and heart. Be assured of your value and recognize your strength. Even if you don't feel it, we see it and feel it and love it. Many hugs and much love. Pat
  10. Thank you, Beth. I just couldn't come here on THE day. Love you.
  11. Beth, You are on my mind always, especially today.........Remember when we emailed pics of our guys w/ Tarceva side effects so we could compare possible remedies? A comforting memory of kindred souls. You and Bill were very important in Brian's journey. I will always love you both. I am sorry for your pain today. Pat
  12. He sent me a PM, I answered no further word. I am concerned. Please update me/us if you have contact w/ Brian. Thanks.
  13. Sue, it just doesn't get any easier, does it? Hugs for you and warm thoughts and lots of love. oh and, Happy Birthday, Mike...........ask Brian to help you blow out the candles!
  14. Prayers and concern from here, Judy. What a loving woman you are. Loreen is blessed to have you in her life. I wish I could come help out.................I bet you could talk her into letting me drive................I hate to shop, but I would be a good sport. Now, concentrate on good test results. hugs

    Our LC family has another terrible loss. My heart is w/ her husband and children and all of us who share this terrible bond. P
  18. Thank you for this thread and the honesty it contains. I am a real 'case'. Brian and I quit together shortly after we married in 1995. We stayed quit. He died. I started smoking about a year after he died. I had gained so much weight by eating through my grief I was desparate to lose some and foolishly thought smoking would help. It didn't. Now I comfort myself w/ both food and smokes. He would NOT be proud of me. I have managed to stop smoking for a month at a time in the last two years 4 times......................I am miserable and guilty and angry with myself. Everyday I beat myself up. But I am still smoking. I am just not adjusting to life alone. I would be grateful if you would add me to your prayer concerns. I am not sure why anyone who did full care for 10 months for someone actively dying of LC would even think about lighting up. I lost my husband and my sister as a result of smoking.................I am so ashamed of myself. This thread provided much comfort and for thought. Thank you, again. Love Pat
  19. I am just so very sorry. Her children and husband are in my prayers. Uploading support for your whole family. I am just so so so sorry. P

    Another June 17

    Hello, friends, I am drawn back here today as it marks the third time I have remembered our wedding day without Brian. I am not 'widowing' well. Some of you will remember that I sold auto fasteners for a living. You can well imagine that I am not working. My job went away April 3. My severence pay will last till the end of this month and I will then be drawing my SS and my pension. Idle time is NOT good for me and retired is not an adjective I would have chosen for myself. I am having a terrible time managing my weight as I eat for comfort. It is funny that I wish and pray every day that Brian come back and yet if he did, he truly would not even recognize me. It seems that all the bad habits I battled and overcame in my thirties have come back to haunt me and own me in my sixties. Fercryenoutloud. All the plans Brian and I made for retirement................................all of our dreams and wishes.................................. I guess I just didn't lose my husband. I seem to have lost my way, my future and my energy for life. I see family often, in fact I spent Memorial Day w/ my brothers in NC and am leaving tomorrow for 5 days w/ my son and family in FL. All my family has been loving, supportive and understanding. I am grateful for them, but I am very specifically lonely. Not generally lonely. I need Brian. Today I want to thank all of you, once again, for being here. I will never forget the love and support given us during Brian's cancer battle. I am grateful that I can come back here today and cry on your collective shoulder. You are part of me. I lift each of you in prayer every single day. Hugs Pat

    My sister

    Hi, Please tell your sister that many of us suffer as she does. Please let her know that I felt some relief after reading: No Death NO Fear by Thich Nhat Hanh I found it very comforting. As to the medium maybe you two could ask each other if your mom would have spent $500. this way ~ maybe yes? maybe no? but that could help w/ the decision.
