Hi all. My husband passed away yesterday. Diagnosed in April with kidney cancer and 6 months later gone. It has been a hard road and he has suffered but now at peace. His last words were to tell me to let him go. My heart was breaking as I told him to go.  I am exhausted from caring for him and from grief and will be sleeping a lot in the next few days. My grown up children have taken on all the arrangements to give me peace.  Thank you for all the kind words and support from here 

  • Thank you for sharing this quite touching message, hope you manage to get a good rest and great to hear you have the support of your children.

    My husband passed away 3 weeks and 3 days ago. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in May this year. He too told me and our three grown up sons to let him go. My heart is so broken. The worst part of all of the journey for me is that he was in a hospital in Brisbane for 7 weeks for major surgery. In this period I was never allowed to see him due to border closures because of Covid. The week prior to him coming home the hospital told my husband there was nothing that could be done for the cancer and he had no one with him at his bedside to lean on for comfort. They sent him home and after only 6 days I had to call an ambulance to take him to our nearest hospital because he was in so much pain. I wasn’t allowed to go with him, again because of Covid. After hours and hours passed I got a call to say I could go see him. They allowed me 10 minutes with him before putting him in an induced coma. He had sepsis. He was gone 6 days later. 

    Our sons have taken control of putting dad to rest. I’m just getting through each day at moment. The only thing I can tell myself each day is “at least he is not suffering anymore”.

    Sending you my kindest thoughts.
