i am at a loss, broken and helpless. My husband after 3 years has possibly only 2 weeks to live - all surgery not possible and due to stomach blockage no chemo. I am scared of what he is going through . How do u even accept that you are coming to the end of your life. I want to give him the best time he can have even with poor quality of life. 

  • Hi Jackiec1967 welcome to the forum and so sorry that you have not had a response as yet. That's one helluva blow for you both and talking and keeping lines of communication open even if the subject is difficult is helpful for you both. The best thing you can do is continue to love him as you have always done and that's more important than anything else. I don't know what to say as nothing is going to make any of this any better. However, I want you to know that I'm thinking of you and sending some huge big hugs your way for now. Gail x
