Don M Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Shelly: I am sorry you have to deal with this all over again. I will pray for you and your family. Quote
tess Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Shelley, This is also my third time with hospice. My sister died first of breast cancer, 3 years ago. Last summer my husband died of lung cancer, and now I am taking care of my 76 year old mom who has lung cancer also. I know how you feel, it kind of numbs you but we must do what we have to do. I guess God has made us the caregivers, for his reasons. God Bless you and give you strength in these trying days ahead. I guess it never ends does it? Death is a part of life and we have been given the strength by God to take care of our loved ones. Like Jane said, "You will be rewarded in Heaven!" Tess Quote
Kaffie Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Oh Shelly, I'm so sorry this is starting again in your family. Sending prayers your way Kathy Quote
kimblanchard Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Oh, Shelly, I am so sorry. I know he will get the best of care and you can share what time is left together. It is twice for me and that is too much, almost more than I can deal with. But the end will come to us all, one way or another. Again, I am so sorry. Margaret Quote
TAnn Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I am so sorry you have to go through all of this. You must feel like you are in a nightmare right now. I'll be praying for your family. TAnn Quote
Remembering Dave Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Shellie, that is a nightmare. It's just awful and I'm so sorry and I don't know what else to say. You are a good person, a real angel. Your poor husband, nothing prepares you for losing a parent, not even helping your wife do it. I feel so bad for him. Just know we're all here for you. Hang in there kiddo, Much love, Karen Quote
natalie Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I'm speechless. I can't believe this! You and your husband are going to have a rock of a marriage after all this. Thank God you have one another. Shelly, I'm praying for you and your husband and I'm just so so so so so so so sorry! I just can't believe it! Its just so unfair. Quote
Alisa Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 This news is so shocking and I am so sorry to hear this. I will keep you all in my prayers. Quote
elnodel Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Dear Shelly, There's really nothing more that anyone can add but know that we're all thinking of and praying for you. I admire your strength and hope that you will at least get some peace from your ability to care for him, something not everyone can do. Wishing you and your husband yet more strength to get through all this and as much peace and tranquility as it is possible for your father-in-law to have as he goes through this. How we all hate this dreadful disease.... Ellen Quote
Tiny Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Oh, Shelly, you are truly experiencing a nightmare in the cancer arena. I have no magic words for you except to keep on keepin' on as BobMc would have said. I'm so sorry for your pain and heartbreak. Prayers. Quote
