Bob, I am so sad to hear this. Cancer life is never a straight line and can be very cruel with its teases. As SUe has said this will be a hard time for you and sublingual drops for her 'pain and anxiety will work a lot faster and easier for you to administer. I used them for my mother.

I'm sure that some part of Liz's mind will understand everything that you have to say. Don't hold back on your feelings. The day before yesterday I had to say goodbye to a very close friend. We were girls together and have known each other for 59 years.

It's been an honor to Mentor you through this seemingly long journey. You have been an awesome caretaker for Liz. I know that it's often difficult to speak for someone else. But you have done an excellent job. I don't think that she lacked any care or comfort that she needed.

I'm sure that your girls and their partners are with you at this time.
I wish all of you a peaceful time with your mom. She knows that you are with her. Please take comfort in knowing that she knows that she is well loved.

It has been my honor to have been by your side Bob, through your journey. If the chance comes please let me know how you and your girls are. I'm always here for you. Don't second guess your care or what you did or could have done. There's a tendency for that but it serves no one.

As Liz slips away be at peace with the life that you had with her and the care that you have given her. It was everything that anyone could have done.

My love to you both,
Merry
