HI Jerry, I know exactly how you feel since I lost my beloved Ron only 9 months after his diagnosis. I feel his cancer was even more advanced than your wife's. You are right, it will be a long very tough road ahead. But it sounds like you are doing all the right things and have a strong, positive at...
I think 'moving forward' is great, but don't rush it. Whatever pace you go is fine. I still cry over my Angie for any or no reason and it's been over four years. Didn't know Frenchie, but I'd bet he'd have liked you wrapping that shirt around you. You're going to be ok. It may not feel like it all ...
Hello Everyone, I am new to this thread and thought I would check it out. It has been a little over two weeks since Ron (Frenchie) has passed away. I have had many good days but they out of the blue I am crying, that was yesterday. It was a normal day butt I would cry at the drop of a hat. The nigh...

His funeral was 1/3/17 and I am finally completing the mailings of the funeral thank you cards. Praying for you. Hang ...

The liver mets seem to be on the surface and may actually be on the peritoneum and just crushed up against the liver. He has starte...
Hello Mojo, The caregiver (me) in my family have been a caretaker after a car accident Oct 12 2016. It happened when hubby & I had just started a 'batteri charging' vacation after hubby had recovered after his 3rd surgery (resection of the liver mets) and before starting chemo again. I ended up...
Yes, good idea to bump this thread. It is one avenue to throw one's feelings, thoughts out there. Plenty of threads to read & identify with. It can be helpful to know that there are others who understand. Candy, sleep disturbance + grief can certainly affect one's ability to focus, or possibly ...
