my sincere condolences

Hi KM. I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to make sure you received a package that I sent for you for you "body and soul". It was from Sephora.com. I hope you like it and that it brings you some comfort each day. Saying nightly prayers for your family. Have you had an opportunity yet to...

Mary, my husband has same thoughts as you but we are not quite in a position to have to make that decision yet. BTW ~ he is 100% Irish but born "American". I am not sure where in Ireland his family is from. Anyway, your wishes should be respected by all. I wish you peace and strength.

Wow, its nice to hear stories of good fortune Hal! My husband purchased a LTC policy about 10 yrs ago....who would've thunk we would actually have needed it so soon? We havn't actually started using it but will be very soon as we're almost at the home healthcare worker stage.

Josie, I am so sorry things are going so quickly for your MIL. Your hubbie has to understand that he is grieving. Even though his mom is still here, he has begun the grieving process. I lost my father suddenly 18 months ago and it was debilitating pain for me. I did some reading back then on...

Linda, my husband has stiffness and pain in all of his joints. I am sure lack of motion has a lot to do with that...maybe ALS, maybe authritis?

Beautiful photos, but nope, I could not have done it.

Barry, you bring up a good piont about bi-pap. My husband does not even want to use bi-pap. He rarely gets 3 hrs of sleep at a time and like Hopeful Warrior's PALS he is exhausted all the time. When preparing for company he gets plenty of rest ahead of time then can socialize for 3 - 4 hours...

We should have cake :-)

That's excellent news. I hope all works out as planned. Please keep us posted. (I need to be planning this myself but just haven't done it yet).

Hi Miss. My husband and I drink red wine about 3 x week. Usually a bottle between the two of us. As Abbas Child pointed out too much I am sure would not be a good thing and would increase the risk of falls and injury. We are accustomed to drinking wine so the alc. doesn't really have an effect...

I recall watching the TV movie some years ago.

What a fighter! So so sorry to hear this.

My sincere condolences for you and your family.

Mary, for us the tunnel represented darkness, anger, fear, avoidance. The light for us was acceptance and coming to terms with "living" with this illness. We live now in the moment and appreciate each day. So in some ways, we have seen the light!
