Wife of 56 years is terminal with cancer. Blessings didn't help. She probably has a week or less

I hope you know we all care about you, and her. Like the blessings, it's not much help, either, but at least we're here, doing the very little that we can. I don't know which desert you're in, but if you need anything, and it's the right desert, I might be able to help. I know I want to...

I used to live in gilbert, az and went to scool in coolidge and mesa. Not sure if thats close to where you are i do miss it sometimes.

Oh I'm so very sorry desertman.

Oh, desertman, I am so sorry. :_( Is she at home on hospice? Have they got her on some good pain meds? How are you holding up?

We’re here desertman. Someone is always here.

My grandma was aloud to pass in her home and i thought that was pretty cool. Never got put in one of those communities in her last years.

Hang in there, desertman.
Make every day you have with your wonderful wife great.
Hugs.

How terrible for you both. All my love and warm wishes are with you.

I am so sorry to hear this, desertman. I know you are losing a big part of you after being together almost a lifetime. Love and peace to you and your family.

Sorry to hear

So sorry.

I hope she can be comfortable. She is lucky to have you.
I'm sorry this is happening to her.

I hope you two have as much time together as possible. Take care of yourself too.

This is heartbreaking. I am so sad to hear this, and so hope that you both will find some sort of comfort. However you get through this, do please take care of yourself.

Thank you everybody!!!
All other things considered the ward members have been unbelievably supportive and generous. It seems they set differences aside and answered the call.

It's nice to hear about mormons being regular humans!

Peace be with you.

Desertman, I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I hope you and your wife have support from friends and loved ones as you navigate this sad journey. Keeping you in my thoughts.

please stay near her. it is out of your control. i'm so sorry.

Condolences to you both. Fifty six years of memories to cherish. Hugs to you.

Oh, desertman .... I'm so sorry. So much loss here now. I'm sorry it's striking your family, too.

Oh Desertman, this is so hard to read! 56 years is a remarkable length of time together with love and companionship. My sincere hope is that your wife will have an easy passing with love from you, family, and friends. And for you, friend, may you be surrounded by comfort, friendship, and support as you and your wife share this time together.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. It is hard.

Terribly sorry to hear that, Desertman. Sending you good vibes across the Atlantic

My condolences, desertman.

I'm so sorry.

This is heartbreaking news.

Sending loving thoughts

Tutu

So sorry

Nice to hear that the church is helping; I hope that they continue and that it's sincere , with no strings attached.

I'm sorry to hear this, desertman. I hope she's as comfortable as she can be, and that these last days go well. Hang in there.

There were a couple of (non-Mo) church groups that were very supportive during my wife's final days, but at the end I actually pushed them back some. I wanted some "us" time for our immediate family (and both groups took it well, stayed close by but didn't intrude). My point is, YOU decided what works best for you and yours.

I'm so sorry desertman.

My condolences to you.

So sorry to hear that. It's good that you have people around you to help you through this, I know it's painful.

Today myself and #no2 daughter made the mortuary and cemetery arrangements for when she dies. For DW's sake I hope it is soon.
The ward members have responded magnificently I wish there was a way to resolve doctrinal issues.

Sending much love.

Hugs from the ex-mo lady from the south.

I'm very sorry to hear of your sad news. It's an overwhelming thing to deal with.

All you can do is take things one day at a time and try not to get overwhelmed. Rely on others when you need to, so that you don't wear out yourself.

My Mom landed in the hospital herself, while trying to take care of my Dad this summer. Take care of you, as well as her.
