Take heart that you can at least tell each other how much you love them. Share all the happy memories, laugh at the bad times but above all talk to them and hold them. |

did you find it difficult to talk about though Brenda? We never discussed it cos we just couldn't - we walked out of the hospital after getting the diagnosis and prognosis [five years] in a stupor - I thought 5 years!!! OMG, that's no time, but in the end it was less than one. I used to sit in the evening and look at him sitting on the other side of the room wondering what life was going to be like, when would it happen, how would it happen - no one would tell us. I began planning the funeral - the hymns and trying to put together an obituary for the newspaper and then the tears would start and I'd have to leave the room - people wouldn't believe me that he was dying as he looked absolutely fine - still we had 43 years of marriage and I feel we were lucky in that respect |

Again lovely replies for which i am very grateful. Don't think any further help is needed PM wise (thanks Brenda) as of now, as it is the early stages of a downward path. |

Harry I have been through the same situatiion and can truly say I feel you pain. There are no easy, right or wrong answers, just do what your heart tells you. I hope that you can hold onto the good memories you have shared, and these will help you both to ease the pain. |

Oh Ann, I really feel for you. That was awful for you both to go through. You should take comfort in knowing you were with him to the end and it was very quick. |

I will make my last call on this one. Wish i could thank you all personally. Ann- hope I can say the same thing in time. There is a bit of poor me in all this and it makes me feel guilty. |

I lost a very dear friend of 55 years last Jan wewent to school back in the 60s then we moved away, anyway in oct last year she was told she had cancer, we talked on the phone or we text each other and we told each other that we loved each other because it was a very special friendship. and it nothing to do with the love I had for my late husband or her love for hers or her partner. I talk to her partner two or three times a month because he finding it very hard. |
