Dear Mummabear,

What a faithful and deeply dedicated caregiver you were. I learned a lot from you. I am deeply saddened for you, and do hope your lovely memories of better times will ease the deep sadness I know you are feeling now. I don't know if it works like that, but I pray it does. May God bless you entirely.

Love,

Bev

I am so sorry to read this but so happy to hear that he was able to leave you by telling you he had to go.

I feel your pain mummabear, I lost by best friend and wife of twenty years to melanoma on December 13th. She was in hospice care for a week and I was right with her the whole time. I was holding her hand when she passed away at 6:10 am. I miss her so much. The reason I'm in the Colon Club forum is a colonoscopy I had this past Thursday indicates possible cancer. Biopsies taken but no confirmation yet, I should hear early this coming week.

So terribly sorry to hear of your loss, and your husband's suffering.

You were so very kind to me, during my brief stay here on CC.

The coming days will be difficult, once the struggle is over and you reflect on days past.

There are no mere words that can adequately describe the true horror and heartbreak of colorectal cancer.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. This past 6 weeks has been more difficult than I could ever have imagined. I thought I was prepared emotionally, but nothing could have prepared me to watch my love take his last breath.

Continued prayers for all battling, so family should have to go through this!

Love to you all

That is so beautiful. I will not have a soul mate, a love, to cuddle me as I take my last breath. But my children of the (formerly) nice young man I met in church decades ago will no doubt be around me, and maybe a close friend or two. I hope to make it a beautiful, happy moment for them to remember and write about. That was a lovely gift from him to you. I cannot give that kind of gift to my ex nor do I want him around to make it an ugly, angry moment. You are blessed to have had such a lifelong, lasting love. I am sorry that life was so short, for him. I am a little morbid, waiting for test results, today. I have been reading about other stage four metastases. I had stage 3 B rectal cancer at diagnosis, stage four mets a year later, and now, two years later, I have worse pain and fatigue than before the initial diagnosis... and before that diagnosis, I already feared I was dying... and I guess I would have, had I not gotten insured in time. Cancer is an awful thing, but... death need not be. I hope to live many years longer. But today... on this Saturday of never-ending rain and gloom, I just want to be sad about my eventual demise, and tell you, as one who faces death without the kind of love you had, that you gave your husband a gift that he took to eternity with him. Your love, your kindness, and that peaceful passage into what I hope is a beautiful forever.

Mummabear,

I was sad to learn of Michael's death. I lost my sweet, dear husband on January 4th so I can relate to what you are going thru. It is difficult to grasp that this world continues to go on without them in it. My condolences to you and your daughters.
