Hi KEE1k1 Your post resonated many mixed feelings in me as I am looking at my / our journey from the other side as I plan with my family for a living funeral in the near future. The significant importance of you not being there at your husbands passing happened to a friend recently and I’m sure he new his time had come and his adoring wife also missed the opportunity to be with him at the last moment. She felt as though she had been cheated of that special last moment together it can’t be changed now but I feel her loss for sure. I wish you peace and my thoughts and best wishes go out to you and you family at this time. xoxo 🌺🌺🌺xoxo ... View more

Hi @sch, How is your wife? I hope she has recovered well after her bout of Covid, & not suffering any long term side effects. Budgie ... View more

Patches, I’m so sorry for everything your going thru, but please know you are not alone. I can’t believe your husbands family would treat you this way, but then again I just lost my mom 1-14-21 to Covid and that same day we found out my husbands cancer has gotten worse and they are stopping his Chemo. My brother and his wife who are alcoholics, have started. I’ll explain in private message. I know we can’t pick family but I wish we could. Those who should be there for each other seem to drift apart. Isn’t there enough pain in this world. I can say from the bottom of my heart you are not alone, and you absolutely don’t deserve this treatment. I’m sending you a great big hug...I hope to hear back from you soon my friend. Xo ...

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble, you may wish to look up a Grief/Bereavement Counselor in your city/region - maybe someone to check-in with weekly/fortnightly?    They could help you process the grief but also give you support for moving forward and being able to feel OK with leaving the house, developing social activities etc.   I empathise as I've had some pre-Grief with a family member dealing with cancer treatment right now.    Best wishes and take care - CMS2020 ...

Hi Angel 1 Sorry to read that Stephens chemo treatment was so aggressive that his body couldn’t cope,and was hospitalised,it’s good he is back home again with you,it would have been so lovely to take him to a favourite place and making good memories for all,sad that it is a day by day thing now,but he is home where he obviously is loved and needs to be at this time with his family.   Sometimes a small trip to Bunnings can bring such joy ,when I am there I keep my hands in my pockets or who knows what I will take home. ...
