sambatman's Journal, 19 December 2014

Going on 2 1/2 days with zero sleep. I am so tired. My father in law is at the end stages of his life. Literally hours. My house reeks of the lingering cycle of dying. This is so horrible. I have sent my husband to bed. Told him I would take tonights shift as well. He is not handling this well.
I went though this with my mother almost 3 years ago. It took her 5 years of her body to slowly die. My dad cared for her so I was not as exposed like I am now.
This is horrible.

My heart goes out to you and your family. What you are doing for him is priceless and shows how big a heart you have. I bet he appreciates it too. Sending love and hugs and strength your way.

I have been in your shoes and you can survive this. Your father in law is comforted by knowing you are both with him and he is not alone. Talk to him now and say all the things you want to say as it will help him and you let go. I can talk from experience as I have walked this walk also. He is being called home from his journey as his work here is done and I am sure he is proud of you and your husband for having the courage to be with him in his final days. Sending you both love and light.

I have walked in your shoes. It is a life changing experience to completely care for a loved one at their end stages of life. I cared for my mom for 7 years. Only the last two were difficult on and off. The last month was well you know and the last week I will never forget. It still brings me to tears. My mom was the sweetest woman on earth even on her death bed . For a long time I would say that I would never ever go thru it again but now that time has past I would do it all over again just to have her by my side. Would I do anything different..probably I would let the know how much I love them and how much they will be missed and I would hold their hand as they crossed that bridge. God bless you.
