giving you what you need, even if you don't think you will need anything. I hope you have close friends you can depend on to talk this through later, you will likely need that even though at this point it may not seem you will. No regrets but just to process the loss.

I am so happy you have this ability. I would love to know it would be available for me when/if I need it. She will peacefully sleep but do not try to tough it out. I don't think you will but I don't know you. It is always harder to be in your shoes no matter how good it is to be able to do things this way.

I will be thinking of the both of you on Tuesday. Your wife, at least in the support, is a very lucky woman. Most of us would never have that support.

I do have friends available for both the immediate and long-term aftermath. My brother-in-law went though my sister's cancer death 25 years ago, and has been a pillar of understanding and caring. My parents are still alive, and are both warm, thoughtful people, who have also been seasoned in this by my sister's death. I have two hospice counselors on tap.

I know that I'm facing the unknown, and there is no value in bravado. This is not a situation that one can simply tough out.

Thanks again.

I can't imagine what you both are going through. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

The beauty her spirit added to the world will not be lost on all those who have experienced it. I will hold you in my thoughts as I chant tonight. Namaste

...best of humanity of which you speak. I wish I could have known about you, and known you both in person, in happier circumstances. You have enriched my life even though we have never met.

Your eloquent words are carved into my memory.

Serenity

aloha.

that you both are surrounded by love during the coming days.

Peace be with you both through this difficult time.

and wishing you both peace.

While on home hospice, I know what you are going through and I'm so sorry.

Peace be with you.

It takes a special person to work in hospice care. I have never heard a bad word about people who choose to work in the field. My personal experience with hospice caregivers was that they were all very professional and so caring.


Peace unto you

If the word luck can be used in this situation.

I hope all goes peacefully, and she goes gentle into that good night. I hope you are all right, afterwards, knowing that her trials are over and any suffering she went through.

I am so sorry for your situation. It may be harder on the one left behind. I hope you manage to do well afterwards.

So hard what you are going through, my thoughts are with you.

Wishing both of you peace..

I wish I could give you a hug. Grief is an unpredictable roller coaster ride.

Please, lean heavily on your support network. You're in heart and in my thoughts.

In the last week I have seen and met many of the heroes you have seen on TV while going through the ordeal that was Harvey. I had many strangers help to unload from my canoe all of my father-in-law's salvaged pictures, papers, and other misc., stuff. We were wiped out and I didn't know how we would get his safe in the truck after literally dragging it a 1/4 mile up the flooded road. It was too heavy to get into the canoe. They were wonderful!

I have lost a son, but I cannot imagine going through what you two have to, but I am glad she will no longer suffer. I watched my dad suffer long past any desire to live like he was limited to, as were we, We put animals out of their misery but not people (small exception where you are). It it the right thing to do and I am glad you are both at peace with it to the extent that anyone can. It is a sign of true love that you are not selfishly trying to keep her around while she suffers, but it has to be hard to let her go.

I hope this helps some, I know DU really helped me get through the worst of Harvey. Peace and love for you both!

I can see no reason to wring the last drop of misery out of illness just to satisfy someone who is projecting their own fear of death onto everybody else. When death becomes inevitable, there shouldn't be any reason to remain in pain.

Her passing should be quiet, without pain or fear and you'll have people around to help you cope.

And many of us will be here to PM afterward, if you need to.

bless you both and may her journey bring you both peace.

I often wonder what I'd do, and how I'd feel, if something like this was taking place in my life. Good luck to you, and to your wonderful, caring, unselfish wife. Please don't forget about your DU family. We'll all be with you at that final moment, at least in spirit.

Healing.

Safe passage. ❤️

You and your Mrs. are very special people. To spend the sweep of life and its far-ranging emotions together and arrive at the point you share with us is a testament to the best of the human story. The moment you feel and relate is all-too rare for most, and fleeting when it occurs. Savor it, dive deeply into it, as I know you will, and be richer for it. The ultimate becoming of one. Hold on for the journey, Jackpine; please know many of us are with you.

And love to your family.

My condolences.....

Her spirit will be free . And I firmly believe we can keep our loved ones alive in memory as a inner voice-don't be afraid to talk to her.

Love & good wishes.
