Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I am sorry to ask this, but i feel i have to. I am not sure if it is out of a need to know what to look for, or an attempt at preparing myself. I want to know, if anyone minds, what signs are there that the end is near for him? I completely understand if it is too much to ask, if no one wants to answer. I know its dragging up painful memories. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi Kim: Jackie E. here. My husband is a liver transplant survivor. I have been silently reading your posts with a broken heart. I wish I could physically be there for you and give you a hug along with some moral support. One thing that I can advise you to do is to get in touch with a hospice volunteer and ask for a booklet called " Crossing The Creek. "  It is a 35 page manual written by a hospice nurse that explains all of the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the process we call dying. It was very helpful to us when my mother-in-law passed away and she was like a " textbook case. "  We found it comforting to know and understand what she was going thru. I hope I have been of some help. Please know that you and your entire family have been in my prayers every day. God bless. Jackie E ________________________________ To: livercirrhosissupport Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 3:49 PM Subject: Difficult Question..  I am sorry to ask this, but i feel i have to.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thank you Jackie for reminding me!! Kim, they also offer support in anyway necessary. Your husband may not want their services; but, they will certainly help you!! I went for my 1st appointment a little bit ago and was so super impressed by the calm nature of the woman I was talking to and she isn't the one that will counsel me. I'm also strongly suggesting that my son and the great-niece that lives with me, go for the caretaker counseling. ________________________________  Hi Kim: Jackie E. here. My husband is a liver transplant survivor. I have been silently reading your posts with a broken heart. I wish I could physically be there for you and give you a hug along with some moral support. One thing that I can advise you to do is to get in touch with a hospice volunteer and ask for a booklet called " Crossing The Creek.
