What next?


Recommended Posts

Flowergirlie,

So sorry to hear the news. I think you're in a very tough spot. I know your husband has never wanted to know his diagnosis and that even when the naturopath said he probably had a month or so left (thinking he was doing you a favor to save your money for a getaway), it wasn't received well. And I think all that pales in comparison to bringing in hospice (in your husband's eyes).

Can you hold off until he asks for the help for pain? Then you can introduce hospice as the answer to the meds management.

I know you've been so good to him and have continually honored his wish to remain in the dark, so to speak, and so I suspect you need to keep doing that so long as it is his wish.

Again, very tough position you're in and I won't pretend that my mother's awareness and acceptance (even too much so) wasn't a huge burden from my shoulders. I hope when it's my time to leave this earth I will be able to face things as well as she has because I know it will be of invaluable help to my own children who will have enough to focus on and do for me without the added layer of keeping me shielded from the facts surrounding my illness.

Much luck to you in the weeks to come.
