  4. ((((((Carleen)))))) Just take one day at a time. You will know what is right for Carleen, as opposed to what others feel you should do. I absolutely agree that it was your Keith telling you how beautiful you are. I had a couple very compelling things happen after Bill passed, that only he and I knew about, when he was alive. Your Keith is right there with you, watching over you. You will be okay. Grief takes time,,,,give yourself all the time you need,,,not someone elses timeframe. Counseling is a good thing. Talking to someone will help put your very normal feelings, into some perspective that you can deal with. Please know that you are loved and cared about by all of us here,,,,your family at LCSC Peace, Annjael

    Too much pain

    ((((((Carleen)))))) When I lost my husband of 28yrs in 2001 to this terrible beast, my heart was broken in two. I also thought what is the use, my life is over. Then I thought again,,,,yes, my life as I knew it, was over,,,,but my husband wanted to live so badly and wasnt given the chance. He would have given anything for a second chance. I knew then that I had to live the life that he was denied. My thinking was that if I decided to end my life, then the Beast has won 2 lives,,,,,,and that was suddenly not an option....I wont tell you that the last few years has been easy,,,,,but you learn new coping skills and your Keith will be right there,,,helping you,,,,you can do this,,,,,honor Keith by honoring the promise you made to him,,,,,by honoring him your Keith will live on in you, sweetheart,,,,,,Take one day at a time,,,,breath,,,eat small meals, but do eat something,,rest when you can.....talk to us and anyone else,,,family,,,counselors,,,,just know that people care alot about you, and you are not alone. Peace to you,,,Annjael

  16. Well,,, it would have been 32yrs today for us. I still don't like to use "would have been". I try very hard to keep the memories of my marriage alive. Bill has been gone for 4 yrs already! That is so hard to believe. Basically I am doing well. I caregive for my dad who is 84, and have been doing so for 4 yrs. I have a nice friend, who is also a widow, and we have alot of fun lunching or shopping etc. But as they say " The heart never forgets" Thanks for letting me share my thoughts on my special day.... Peace and blessings, Annjael
  17. Please look into a second opinion! We didnt 4 yrs ago, and I wish we had. Please don't let any one doctor give up on your husband, and say "thats it" Ask questions,questions,and more questions, be proactive and insistant. It all matters, alot. Also remember we are all here for you, whenever you need us. Peace, Annjael
  18. (((((Pat and Brian))))) I know it is hard to really decide what to do here. You are both so amazing!!! I think it is good that you plan to go back to work, and I think that will perhaps make Brian feel better about your Family Leave. It always seems better with some plan in place. I think you are wise taking it day by day, and work the plan accordingly. You and Brian have such strength, and a doc that really is a gem!! That is soooo important! ( I could tell you a few tales about Bills onc ,,,,ugh!!!) Still makes me crazy!!! Bless your hearts,,,,,and hang in there Peace, Annjael
  19. Congratulations Grams Sharyn,Mom,,,,and little Gavin,,,,,,he is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace, and blessings Annjael
  20. (((((Froggiegirl))))) Well,,,,I was a caregiver for my husband for 3 yrs before he passed away. The first 2 1/2 were more or less just making sure he had his meds, running to get his meds, etc, he at that point had hepatitis C and diabetes. He had alot of trouble with his feet also. Then came the lung cancer, the chemo and radiation treatments, making sure he had his meds etc, and I too was working to keep us afloat, as his disability income never came, he died the same month he was to receive it. He was 53. I was 51,,,when he died, I had to sell my home, so I moved to Florida, away from my kids and friends, to caregive for my 82 yr old dad. He is blind in one eye and a multitude of heart related problems........I am here 24/7/365 I am now 55. You know ,,,,somehow I feel blessed and lucky,,,,,, That being said,,,,,,,,,,,,I can well understand your feelings,,,I have them myself at times.....why me???? again????? But,,,,,,,,,,,,the fact is, this is the way my life is ,,,,,for now. It is good to be needed,,,,even when your plate is already full. Your mom is still your mom and your best friend, and everything she always was,,,,she has cancer, and she She needs every ounce of strength, mentally and physically to fight this beast. Help her....She needs you now more than ever.... Peace and blessings to you and your mom,, Annjael
  21. ((((Addie)))) You really are one tough cookie!!! Prayers are going out to you. Have a nice Thanksgiving. Peace, Annjael
  22. (((((Pat and Brian))))) and we are thanking God for you! You both are such inspirations to us on this board! May you both have a very nice day today!! Peace and blessings, Annjael
  23. (((((Shellie))))) I had this same sort of problem a few years ago. I had a lump that could not be felt, but it showed up on mammogram, and was fairly large. My surgeon tried an needle aspiration, that didnt work at all.They brought in an ultrasound expert and he checked it.. He said he didnt see anything,,,,back to the mammo machine,,,it shows up. They then decided to do a biopsy and remove it. I had to have another needle mammo the day of surgery. The surgeon and the ultrasound expert were baffled. They felt that the best thing was the biopsy. I had so many mammos with this darn thing, I glowed in the dark!!!! They went in and removed all the tissue around it, it was deep so it was tricky, but it was a cyst. So I know it is hard not to worry, but my point is that even tricky or complicated things can be nothing at all,,,,just complicated or tricky...... so hang in there! Your doc is being cautious, and that is good. Prayers are comin at ya!!!! Peace, Annjael
  24. I believe in Karma,,,,my husband Bill died August 21st 200l,,,,,,,my first great grandson was born August 21st 2004....... We were really blown away, as that date was an awful one.......until Camryn,,,now it gives us some joy! I know my husband had something to do with that child being born on that date,,,,,,to take some of the pain away for us....................... Peace, Annjael
  25. I yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi!!!!!! Doable to me, means that you are saying,,,,okay this isnt great,,,,,,but it is do a ble. I can cope, I can get through this,,,,,,I am ready to take this on. Whatever, it takes, I am in. No easy road, no, this is a cinch,,,,, Fay, you are truly an amazing woman, I think you try to see as much doable as possible from a very serious situation, and that is why you are such an inspiration here on this board...........you give hope!!!! Peace, Annjael
