I don't know what I would do. Yes, try to appreciate the time together you have left but that must be so hard when sadness is crowding in on everyone. It is important to be honest at a time like this but is it better to put on a strong front or break down and cry together? I will be thinking of you both...

This isn't time for pretending. I hope helpful care is available to support you both.<br />Your Mother's Day outing was amazing. How marvelous that he was able to get out and about with you.<br />I feel I know you both a little and I admire your spirits.<br />Your son's care and support is so valuable.

I hope you can get palliative care in good time, and all the help and support you need, both before and after Gom's death. The truth and reality is hard to bear, but still better than doubt and denial. and your love for each other is there, and true, and real, something always to be treasured. My love to you both, and to your children.<br />As Molly says, hospice care and support is a good thing to have. My dear friend had her last six weeks in the hospice, and her partner spent all his time with her, in a calm, loving and supportive environment.persiflagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161607100227748374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-5250956330953108022011-05-07T12:59:13.800+10:002011-05-07T12:59:13.800+10:00Meggie---Have you got Hospice in your area?
