100 days and news




After the discussion yesterday about having my DH home for 100 days, today's news is…not ironic, but maybe serendipitous? The hospice nurse visited today and says DH has one to two weeks left based on all the new behavior. I am all over the board. I'm horribly sad, stunned at the end being so near, grateful that he does not have to continue living like this (nor do I). The relief, joy, desolation and deep grief are all combined.
We have set up a hospital bed in the living room looking out at water and mountains. I will sleep on the sofa next to him.
I am so grateful to have had this time with him at home.
