    M1, No amount of training or planning prepares us for the final days and eventual passing of a love one. My heart goes out to you. Having recently lost my DW, I can imagine your pain and grief. I'll continue to pray for both of you as you walk the final steps of her journey together.

    I feel your pain. She is so fortunate to have someone like you at her side and I think she knows you are there for her. She is not alone.

    Dear M; I am so very sorry for what is happening. I wonder if she has been checked for a UTI;. Even when someone is on Hospice, a UTI, especially if it is causing issues, the UTI is treated unless the patient is in actively dying. My LO had this happen several times while on Hospice and it was quite dramatic until the UTI was treated.

    Sending warm thoughts your way,

    J.

    My hand in yours in the spirit realms, M1. It would seem that there are many here "sitting with you" in spirit as you sit with your dear wife. I am so sorry for your pain. I hope somehow you are able to sense our supportive, caring sentiments for you and your loved one. ~jen

    I'm so sorry M1. It's a helluva disease, isn't it? I know you will find the strength to get through this and be there in the best way possible for your partner. Your many messages of wisdom and caring to the rest of us have shown us that strength. Be strong for both of you!
