Bowel cancer CARERS, FAMILY & FRIENDS chat

I feel lucky I am still able to go out on my own at the moment but I think the time is rapidly approaching when I won’t be able to leave Barry on his own. We are having a quote for a stair lift on Friday as he really finds the stairs a struggle now b

Before Covid and Cancer my friend and I (The one who was 70 on Sunday) used to go to Ragdale hall for a spa weekend for a treat once a year. During coved she had a stroke and now Barry is ill so we won’t be doing that again. Lovely memories though. 

Helen so sorry you are having such a sad day, life is so cruel especially to the nice people it seems sometimes. 

Hugs to everyone. Pauline xxx

Morning Vicky hope you are ok thinking of you xx

Hi Everyone! 

Just thought I would pop by see how you all are as I haven't been on here for a while. Well today I go to the funeral parlour to see Jay for one final time before he is gone forever tomorrow. It's been a long journey for us both and just a shame it came to unhappy end for him. Had a very emotional day yesterday and my cousin came over and took me n my sister out for a bit of lunch just good to get out the house for an hour. I am almost in bits just now writing this and just don't know how or where to be at this minute. I just want everything over now as I feel I have waited a lifetime for this funeral to come. After tomorrow I can breathe a bit again hopefully. Wishing you all well.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow Vicky. Just take it hour by hour.  Words are not enough. Sending you huge hug Maggie xx

You will be in my thoughts tomorrow  

Thanks everyone. Got over the first hurdle and went to see him at the funeral parlour today one last time. They did him proud. Dressed in his favourtie Glasgow Rangers Shirt and his Rangers scarf round his neck that says Simply The Best. I am still really tense about tomorrow but in a sense I'm relieved in that I know he is at peace now and in no more pain and he is reunited with the rest of his family gone before. The Jaffa Oranges have been added too so he can share a couple with his dad when he gets up there and his Rangers wreath is lovely too. I also got a live stream link for the funeral there are a few who wanted to come tomorrow but can't make it and asked about this so asked the funeral director if I could have a live stream for the funeral so she managed to get it done. These were quite popular during covid of course and I think they decided to keep them in.  Just hoping it all goes well tomorrow but the funeral directors I am using have used before for my dad and they are quite competent so hopefully this time tomorrow night I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Will be thinking of you today, I am sure it will be a very sad day but sending hugs and best wishes. Xxx

Thinking of you today Vicky and sending hugs x
