This was a tough read. I've been on the other side of this when my wife passed. Not knowing if you have days or weeks or months ahead is hard, both on the person suffering but also their family. Thankfully the hospice was amazing and they really helped her through the last 10 months of her life. It was a rough road.


My condolences for your loss.


I'm going through something like this right now. I'm the only one (I think) who has known what was likely to happen based on the consultant's wording from the start. I've had the same conversations. It's strangely comforting to read this. Thanks for sharing.


Peace and wisdom to you as you walk through this one day at a time.

Remember, the HN community is here for you and whatever painful emotions you experience in the future

Not at all what I expected. It's a good read on a tough topic.
