I'm lost

My wife is back in UCLH-- bowel obstruction caused by this evil disease.  Fed via IV.

She (hopefully) will come home on Thursday -- and the home nutrition is organised.  This will be ok

But I know, time is short now -- and  I will be lost without her. Nothing, nothing can ever replace my beautiful wife.

    I am truly sorry to read your post about your wife. I cannot imagine how painful this must be for you. I hope you are able to ask all the questions you need to ask of the medical staff so you are both fully informed about what is going on. I hope you have support for yourself too. This is the time to reach out to those you trust to support you.

    Soon your wife will be home and it sounds like you have everything organised for that. Every moment is precious - no-one can know what the future holds.

    Sending you strength and peace. 

  • Hello James

    I am so sorry that your wife has gone back into hospital. I hope that you are both getting plenty of support from the hospital and that she can come home in a few days. 

    If at any point you feel talking things through would help, then please do give the Support Line a call- even if you just feel like getting things off your chest would help. Sometimes it can feel easier to talk to people that you do not know. 

    I can not imagine how tough it feels at the moment but we are here to offer any support that you need.

    There is a forum on here that I feel might be helpful and I will pop a link below in case you would like to have a look.

    I hope that the home nutrition can be sorted quickly and that your wife is being kept comfortable and will be home in the nest few days.

    Take care
