                Janis…so sorry. You guys have been through so much. I'm sure you are exhausted. I've never lost my spouse, but I did lose my mom to cancer. All I can say to you is take it one day at a time. They same time heals wounds and they are sort of right. I don't know that you'll ever heal but hopefully time will at least give you some peace. Also Janis, I for one have gotten used to reading your posts so please check back in with us and let everyone know how you're doing.

                Prayers to you and your family

                                  My heart goes out to you, I lost my husband on February 1 and one week from tomorrow is the official funeral back East.  We live in CA and had a celebration of life, all a blur now, late February………like Shane, his brain so full the only thing that they could try was full brain radiation.  He died on the last day of his 10 day appointment, in our home, in my arms.  I hate this disease, and the pain it leaves behind, I wish you well in your new journey.  The road is so hard………..

                                          There are just no words left.  Too many have left us.  You were such a strong presence for him, Janis.  You gave him your all.

                                                I am so very sorry for your loss. If you ever need to talk or vent I'm here. I can imagine the depth of your pain as the possibility of losing my husband is overwhelmingly painful to me. I can't allow myself to even think about it right now, as I am focused on beating this. May we will, maybe we won't, but I can't even allow myself to think about it If I am going to be helpful to him and positive. I will fall apart later.  Please know that I am praying for God to give you peace and comfort. If you ever want or need to talk I have an open ear.
