My husband has a rare form of primary terminal spinal cancer
we know this and he knows it - but he keeps saying things like “when I go golfing next year” or “ I need to buy a new lawnmower before next summer to mow the grass better” when he is actually pretty much bed bound and neither thing is going to happen…. How do you respond? Nodding and smiling or agreeing feels like we are just humouring him, but saying of course you don’t because… seems cruel! Just don’t know how to respond
he’s also only 60 and been in hospital since summer but about to be discharged to a 24/7 nursing home due to the complexity of his care needs - I just don’t really know how to process that either
thanks for any advice… x
