    hanging on peacefully
    Well he is still hanging on. He has slept since about noon today after they got his pain back under control and with it has come such a peacefulness I haven't felt in weeks. He seems so peaceful right now and relaxed it is comforting. Earlier today they were saying hours -maybe since he is so strong willed still a day or two but definitely not long from now.

    It is so good that this peacefulness has come and you are finding comfort in it. I imagine you there in the hospital with him touching his face, his hands, letting him feel your love, I'm sure some of his peace is coming from that as well.
    Again, my heart is with you,

    Love, hurt, and sadness
    Renee, God bless you and your family at this time......there are no real words of comfort I know...

    However I will pass this on to you....know that every moment of love and caring shared during this time will stay in your heart and soul and become the strength and building blocks for the rest of your life. Always there in difficult times. Always there in good times.

    I lost my husband to prostate cancer (which had metastasized to his bones and stomach) one month past my 40th birthday. It has been 21 years since he went away and while I have remarried he still lives in my heart.

    DO NOT second guess or question yourself EVER! Having cancer now myself I so treasure the times with my family, realizing just how much of themselves they give to me. Hugs and prayers, Lorie

    This is no rhyme or reason for any of the things that have happened to Carl. All of the decisions you made were in his best interest. I hope he is still resting comfortably and wish peace for you, Carl, and the children in this most difficult time.

    Luv,

    the eyes
    Dear renee,
    Stay real close, look into his eyes with love, hold his hand, stroke his brow.
    Let him know how much he is loved, help the kids to show him.

    Pray for a miracle, even if its a peaceful and merciful death.

    You are so much stronger than you realise. We are here for you 24hours a day for forever and just a few clicks away.
    Someone is always on duty on this board. Alas their are more of us here, while we live and breathe we will help.

    Hugs,
    Pete

    Ps love never dies. Don't forget to smile , gaze into his eyes through your tears. This how I imagined my death and what I would like whenever its gods will. so you know Carl, trust your instincts. My prayers are for you, Carl and the kids. Maybe get a counsellor for the oldest, she may regret missing his final days. Maybe a letter to dad if she cannot do face to face and you could read it to Carl.

    So sorry
    I have not been on the board in a while and did not know this had happened. I'm so sorry you did not get more time to do the things you wanted together, but so happy you made so much of the time you have had the last three months with picking out the ring and renewing your vows etc.

    Godspeed, Carl.
