Well, I wish that I could post better news, but Rick isn't doing well as you all know, and may pass tomorrow. His pain meds keep getting increased, but I think he's stable now. His sister, who's a nurse, is staying with me to help out. Thank goodness. Take care all

    I'm so sorry you are in this situation, how you may know I lived it a week ago with my mom and the end seems to be peaceful and at least without pain thanks to the palliative doctors, I hope your experience will be similar.

    A very big hug.

    Oh, how my heart aches for you my friend. Nothing I can say can make things better for you except that I am so very sorry, I know what you are facing in these next few days. It is so very hard, the love, the helplessness to change things, the lonely feeling.

    Love and Hugs - Tina

    Thank you
    For taking the time to post. I am sorry to hear of rick in this way. It is good you have support with you from his sister and that he is comfortable. Try to find moments to remember him in better times. Your support for him has always been remarkable.

    Thinking of you both,
    Steve
