Gina, hi! I have been reading some posts, and my heart aches for you dear. I know the pain, the helplessness, anxiety, etc, that you are experiencing. Yes dear, it does hurt a lot to watch our loved ones suffer. Has your husband lost weight? Does he still have his speech? I hate to ask these questions. You don't have to answer them if you don't want to. I'll understand. When my son's time was near we were all gathered around him, and di not sleep at all that night. I was numb, had no feeling, was not sleepy. When we started giving him his morphine, he started drifting into a sleep. He asked me to sign the DNR for him, because he did not want any resucitation(sp?) He started showing real signs of departing Sat. evening, by Sunday 5:50 he was gone. The hospice nurse told us that someitmes they could be like that for a week or so. I thought to myself, "oh no" I did not want to see my son like that. I talked to him, and told him if he was ready to go ahead. I talked to him the whole time, and assured him I was going to be alright, I just wanted for him to rest. I said my good byes to him, and thank God it did not take him a long time. Gina, we know our loved ones are going Home, so what's the use of wanting him here longer, knowing that there is no cure. I am not trying to sound morbid, I just wanted my baby at peace, and I thank my Father he answered my prayer. May God bless you and your husband. Keep us posted.
