My husband was suppose to have surgery today to remove the cancerous bicep, but he found another tumor. He started Hospice last Friday. This whole week has been a whirlwind with Hospice workers coming and going and the phone ringing off the hook. I’m exhausted from not sleeping, wondering if I’m going to wake up to a deceased husband. I want my life back! Yesterday he had a really rough day, where it was hard to make sense out of what he was saying. He’s a little better today, but snapping at me. I don’t recognize this man looking back at me half the time.

You srd on a difficult journey, for sure, @janiemae During my wife’s illness of almost a decade and s half, it helped me immeasurably to say to myself “She has the toughest part of this. She’s facing the end of her life everyday.”

This helped me to keep my irritation with my life in better perspective. It also
Powered me through many of the toughest days.

Strength, Courage, & Peace
