Having a bad day

Hate is a terrible thing; I have railed against it much of my life. But today I truly hate.....I HATE cancer. My spouse has been bravely battling colon cancer with mets for 3 years; and now cancer has the upper hand. He is tired and grey. And today, God forgive me, I find myself wishing it was over on one hand and dreading when that day does on the other. I take comfort in knowing those of you reading this post will understand. My wish for you is that you hold your loved ones a bit closer for a short while. And thanks to all for just being there. Kathy

    My first husband died from a brain tumor and I know how you feel. You want him to live, of course; but feel like you cannot get on with your life until he dies. I felt the same way and part of me was guilty; but the other part was not...

    My husband lasted 18 months when they gave him 9 and when he did die; I fell apart. I never thought that I could get on with my life. He has been dead 6 years and I am married again. I know; you never think you will find love again, but you will. I think that my first husand sent me my current husband...

    I have no words to ease things because nothing I say can; just try to enjoy each day; sunset, laugh, smile, hug etc...

    I am sorry you and your husband have to go through this. Two of the smartest things that he said before he died were; "I have the easy part of dying and you have the hard part of picking up the pieces... And; you will get married again and be happy."

    Hugs to you...

    I perfectly understand. It's tough watching someone you love suffer and it's a loving thing to not want them to suffer long.

    Hugs.
