I'm a newbie too. My husband passed away 3 weeks ago. He was ill for a long time and I can't imagine having to be in that caregiver/preparing for a loss situation again. I don't know what to say except be sure to take care of you too.

That has got to be hard on you. I guess the normal thing to say would be at least you know what your up against but this is just too much. My wife went home to Jesus back in August suddenly without warning. I'm still trying to get things into perspective.
But I would say that these two ladies were and are blessed to have someone to be there for them. Your right it's just a matter of taking it one day at a time.
But cat lady is exactly right. Take care of you right now and do what you have to do to get yourself thru this.
At least here you have folks to interact with that know what this is about. There are some really compassionate and caring people on here. Very supportive and care about others going thru this. It is also available around the clock, and there usually is someone on here at all hours. Like you said sleep is sometimes very hard to come by.

Take care of yourself.
Peace, Tim

Dear Runner55, I am so sorry you are faced with this again in your life. Hang in there. Do the best you can at any given moment. Try to get some rest. Take care of you. As Tim said there is someone on here around the clock. So many of us have problems sleeping. We care, we are here when you need us.

I'm sorry for your wifes terminal cancer, and I pray that peace surrounds her, but mostly that you can have someone to talk to, and lend a shoulder, or ear. I remember when my mom was in a coma, it was so hard on my dad. My husband died in a freak accident, and I can't imagine what you are going through or feeling. It doesnt seem fair, Im sure of one thing, you are not alone, and we are always here to vent with, chat, yell with. Much love and big hugs carla

I'm glad to welcome you yet very sorry for what you are going through, again. Being remarried after a loss brings many of us from wondering if history will repeat itself. I know after losing my husband to lung cancer I felt I couldn't go through it again. Like you, I found a man and fell in love. It's worth it to have him for whatever time we have. You probably felt the same way. My only advice is to enjoy the days you have and make them special. We knew my husband was terminal and 10 weeks later he was gone. They were the best 10 weeks. I'm so glad we had them.

I'm very sorry for your shortened time. Make it special. Sharon

Runner,

You must have amazing strength- I cannot fathom how you must feel. I wish I could say something that would make it just a fraction of a fraction easier for you- but I know that is impossible. Know that I will be keeping you in prayer.
