Jill,

 I'm sure words can't adequately describe what you're going through. I pray the meds are controlled to the point that Eric is more himself. Your children seem so mature and wise. They will need you more than ever. I will pray about what you posted and most of all for His peace and strength in your lives. Where in Florida do you live?

 God Bless,

Jill, i know how hard it is for you and i can tell you a lot of Eric's reactions are the drugs to keep him at ease. The most important thing is that you are with him and say the things you want to say. It gets to a point where you do not want to see your loved one suffer any more. May love and peace surround you at this difficult time.

Jill,

You are an amazing caregiver. My husband is my caregiver, and instead of empathizing with my situation as a stage 3, he is just tired of having to deal with me and this desease. He tells me  not to play the"cancer card" with him. I think that he is just waiting for me to die to get on with his life.

I envy Eric for the love and support you have given him. You did everything thing you could for Eric and your ppost brings me to tears. Your kids sound wonderful and will be your comfort.

Jill,

I am so sorry  you and your lovely children have to be experiencing this dreadful disease (mean melanoma).  Although I know our God is a good God I struggle every day with the question why?  If God is all powerful then why does he allow the suffering?  I know the life after this one is perfect without pain, but it doesn't make the suffering on earth any easier to deal with.

Take comfort in the support and strength you have provided for your family.  We are not all as blessed as Eric to have such a compassionate caregiver.

I will offer up prayers for Eric, you, and your children.

Caringly,

Mary

My Dear Jill, I am so sorry it has come to this. I am pleased Eric is in Hospice, he will be comfortable and well cared-for…and so will you !!  Take good care of yourself, and now you can be Eric's wife and leave his care to the professionals.

It is so sad when the children have to see their Father in such discomfort, but so wonderful they are so perceptive and understanding.

I had a book when my Ron was in Hospice called, "Final Gifts". If you can get it I think you would find valuable. It tells you what to expect and how to communicate and interact with a dying person. It is short and easy to read, and provided me with unbelievable comfort.

May Eric's time be peaceful and may you find comfort in knowing your care and love will help him through his final days.

Your son is right, melanoma is mean…I hate it !!   My best, Joan

Dear Jill,

I was sorry to read this today.  But I want you to know you are in all of our various methods of prayer.  Yes children who have had to be 'wise beyond their years'  are indeed something.  Melanoma is mean.  I hate it.  I am praying that Eric will have an easy passing, and that you and the children will one day be ok to continue on.

Oh Jill, I am so sorry it has come to this. You both put up such a brave fight, it breaks my heart to see Eric throw in the towel. But any of us who have been through painful treatments and procedures know that there is only so much pain one can take. I will pray for peace and comfort for Eric, and for strength and courage for you and your kids, This will be th hardest part, so don't forget about your other family at MPIP. Remember, we're all here for you too. God bless!
