So sad: Husband has glioma and I feel he is fading away

Thank you, Amanda, for your kind words. No, we live far apart and at age 81 I'm reluctant to travel there because of COVID. Fortunately though her children live nearby. She was living in a nursing home where they were not able to visit her. She became quite ill and was taken to the hospital. When it became clear she needed hospice care, my niece was able to move her to her place where the children are able to be with her 24/7 by trading shifts. I'm grateful for that. I'm also glad that I was able to travel cross country last September and had a good visit with her and my niece.

And my good thoughts go to @rosez and her husband in their grief.

@fwentz I am sorry to hear of the distance between the pair of you but what an absolute gift her children were able to give your sister, and your entire family, by taking her in and caring for her in her final days and allow her to be with many loved ones. Has that provided you some comfort during this time? Have you been able to use technology (i.e. Facetime or something similar) to see and/or talk to her at all if she is able?
