Skully, First, thank you for your kind words... I won't go into anything on this board, but would love to hear from you privately. My edress is: [email protected]What I will say to you here, is that regardless of what you may read or be told, every situation is different. I know that when my son died, I heard the most awful things coming out of my FRIENDS mouths, and they meant well. "Are you OK?","He is in a better place","He isn't in pain any longer","You need to move on"..... etc etc My best friend even said to me "yeah, I know how you feel, I felt like that when my Dad died".... (What a stupid comment!!!) So seriously, arch your back and prepare for these things.... And to everyone I say.... Love those around you totally, completely and unconditionally for as long as you can. Thanksgiving is a great time to start if you don't already....

Sorry for the downer thread. I know this should be an up or happy board. Skullyboy: Thank you for sharing and you need not apologize because this is supposed to be a "happy" place. These boards are meant to be helpful, not just sugar coated nicey nice. Depending on the size of the community you live in you may have a number of choices of support groups. I know in my area there are many grief counseling services. I suggest you ask your wife's nurse about this as she probably knows more about it than does her doctor. If she can't help contact the hospice office. I hope you are making use of all the free services available. No one can know exactly how you feel but I'm willing to bet she is as concerned about you as you are about her. Since the two of you have some time together it is something you might start together. You don't have to do this alone and times like this well meaning family and friends are not necessarily the best people to talk to. Please post to us, as you are able. Harriette

Skullyboy, you have made the first important step, you are reaching out to others, with all your caring warm love, which will carry you forward.
I am so excited about your up coming trip to San Pedro, what a wonderful place for you, your wife and son to share precious moments, that will last in your hearts and souls forever.
Help comes to you from all kinds of people, even the ones that do not really know, or know what to say, they are trying to help you, and you will know that by the feeling.
You and your wife must have a very special relationship, and she must feel safe, having you in her life.
Here's wish you and all your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Dare To Deviate
