I am trying to accept the fact that we are nearing the end. I did not think this would happen so quickly. My husband had a good day last Tuesday, but then a bad night, and he just kept getting worse. We were supposed to go to the doctor on Thursday, but I called and told them there was no way I could get him there. I just knew at that point that it was either the hospital or hospice, so the doctor contacted hospice. They have been wonderful, but I waited as long as I could to get them involved because it makes it all seem so real. They are telling me my husband has a day or two, and I'm trying to accept that this is really where we are. My daughter came home from college to say goodbye and it was heartbreaking, because they are so close. Anyway, we all know what a hard job this is. I know I will see it through to the end and give my husband all I can, but this is by far the most painful thing I've ever been through. Thanks for listening, Betty
