My Husband is Dying and i feel so alone. I have a handicap sister also which I take care of. My brother is trying to help. I want to say thanks. But i will cry to much becouse i will have to say it out loud. I have tried to tell my daughter. She thinks he will be here for a few years and I am worried about nothing. I have not told my son everything. becouse he has two altistic children, and thats alot. Me and my husband know his time is short. We talk a little when he is not to tired. I let him talk to me. I thought about going to go and get some antideppresent. To maybe help me though this. What do other people do. I see some stand strong. DO they cry when no one is around.
Denice,
Thanks for the update. I hope it gets better for you, we are all here to talk to, wish I could say that it would get easier, but I am afraid it will get worse before it gets better.
It is great that you are listening attentively to him. You should assure him that everything is going to be fine and he should not worry about leaving you behind. Talk about the wonderful times you two had spent together in the past. Death is inevitable but the survivor should do his/her best to make the last moments as comfortable as possible.
You should tell your sons and other relatives. It is important that they engage in this process. Your husband will feel a lot better hearing from his children and other relatives. I pray for you.
