Hey Dwight, I just wanted to mention something to you. The evening I left the post for you saying I'd light a candle, I went into the living room and my husband had lit every candle in the house. He was also burning sage, something we have heard helps send prayers. He said he just felt compelled to do it for some reason, so I told him about you. I hope the prayers were recieved and you and your wife were touched by them in some small way. Banjo, I didn't know about your father at the time, but we sent blessing to all those who may need understanding in a very confusing time.

Thanks everyone, I am holding up pretty well. However when I say something like that I feel guilty because I say "I" and my wife is the one with the terrible disease and suffering in ICU on lifesupport. I did get to spend a couple of hours tonight with her tonight and she was lucent and felt ok (largely in part to a morphene and ativan drip) but it was a good evening and I am most thankfull for that.
And for my wonderfull friends here as well

Dwight don't feel guilty you might not have the disease but you are a part of it's effect and many times the family is left out of the treatment for the disease and they have to suffer in silence and be strong for the one that has the disease, that is why you need to find a support group. I can speak from experience on this my grandfather has Alzheimer's disease that is getting worse. Tami

Banjo, sorry to hear that you lost your dad. I know how hard it is to lose a parent or any loved one. My prayers are with your and your family.
PD, I am so glad you and your wife had a nice evening together. I know how rare it is for someone suffering from advanced cancer to have lucid moments. My dad died from terminal cancer. The last weekend I spent with him, he wouldn't take any kind of pain meds so that he could be lucid and we could spend some time together. I know he was in terrible pain, but I was so glad I was able to tell him I loved him and ask his forgiveness for all the hell I put him through all those growing up years. My heart broke for my mom. It was so hard on her having to watch him suffer so.
Although you aren't suffering in the same way as your wife, you are indeed suffering. I know that watching her suffer so and knowing that this woman who has shared your life, bore your children, been your best friend and partner for so many years will be leaving your side soon is tearing your heart out.
May the Heavenly Host surround you both, give you comfort and strength in this most difficult time.
