in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

My husband has had a very rapid decline in the last week, he now has only days left instead of the months the hospice nurses were predicting. Family is flying and friends are calling and stopping by briefly since he is sleeping 22 hours a day. 

He woke up today and said "I'm happy" he asked how I was and drifted back to sleep.

I'm so grateful for such a comforting message.
