Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Vicky That shows so much about you for any who didn't already know. Regardless of where we are, the troubles of someone we care about are worse to us than our own. I'm always thankful as horrible as our disease is that I have it rather than one such as hers. Just know how much you have to have contributed to her years of happiness and be glad for that. Just as the primary treatment for you today is comfort as seen through hospice, thats her primary treatment as well, just a different form of comfort. As you see her try to remember special moments and talk of those even if you know she's not following. There may be something that brings her an inward smile whether you realize or not. Hold her hand gently and lovingly and no words are required. Who knows what that simple touch might bring her. For all your life you've brought her joy (oh I'm sure some other moments too but mostly joy and happiness), so rejoice in that as much as possible rather than thinking about what you can't do for her today. > > HI everyone, > > I'm sorry I havent kept up with the posts, Im dealing with something here > that hurts me more than my own disease.
