59Carol's Journal, 24 February 2019

Sorry to hear this Carol. That had to be very hard to find out your husband would not go back home again. Will be thinking of you guys.  

Prayers for you and your family. 

I'm so sorry to hear your heartbreaking news. 

Carol, you, your Husband & family are in my prayers. God Bless 🙏❣️ 

So sorry 

Thank you for all of your supportive wishes. We are definitely just doing a day at a time. It is not an easy time. 

Carol, feel so sorry. God bless your family. I hope everything gonna be fine. 😟❤️ 

Oh dear Carol, just saw your post tonight and have stayed up reading your entire journaling and comments to learn more about your husband and you. It's almost 4am now that I am at the present. My heart aches for you, and yes for your husband and his discomfort too. As a wife of an 82 year old husband with lots of physical problems I have lived, especially the last 6 years, of never knowing when I would lose him. We have been married for 57 years, and as you say, the idea of going on without him is so hard. As the more relatively healthy one, I relate to you, and I wish there was some way I could comfort you. Knowing most wives become widows is not comforting. Statistics don't mean anything. It's you that is in pain, and having to walk through this. I see through all your posts you are a very special, wonderful person, giving to your family. I am glad they are there for you. I do believe in Jesus Christ so that is where I get my strength to go on, and will be praying for you, and your family also, because of course they are hurting too. We not only hurt for the circumstances we are in, but we hurt seeing our loved ones hurting too. Our daughter has stage 4 cancer, and our son was killed by a drunk driver. If not for the Lord, I wouldn't want to go on, nor would be able to either. I am so sorry you are experiencing these devastating circumstances. I will hold you up in prayer. 

Very sad news Carol, I don't know how I would handle that myself. Please know we are thinking about you, and you need to use all your energy and focus for your family now. God bless you.  

Thoughts and prayers are with you! 

I am truly sorry for what you and you hunny are going through. keep praying if you believe. miracle some times happen. you are in my prayers sweetie. 

Carol I'm thinking of you & your Husband today. Am praying he's not in pain. And Snowwhite am praying for you & your family as well. At FS we're all trying to loose weight & changing our eating/exercise plans to get healthier. With this family trauma please don't forget to take care of yourselves. Good Bless ❣️ 

oh noo! I am so sorry😞, please take care of yourself, I will be praying for you and your family 🙏❤ 

I’m so sorry to hear that. My prayers and thoughts for you and your family. Hugs! Please do take care. 

I’m sorry 😢 

So sorry to hear that. Thinking of and praying for you and yours.  

I know that death is part of God's plan for each of us. But, it hurts so very much. My heart goes out to you as you go through this sad time. Take care. 

So sorry to hear this update. But be strong and don’t give up to quickly. I’ve seen cancer patients hold on much much longer than doctors expect sometimes. Every day is precious. Praying for you and your husband. Hope he is comfortable as possible? 

Thank you to all of you. I hear your genuine concern in all you have written. Snowwhite I so understand your fears. Truly enjoy your time together. That sounds cliche but no point in borrowing trouble before you need to. As for my husband we are taking the time to be together and although we know what is coming we are trying not to dwell on it all of the time. We are concentrating on the present circumstances and try not to look further than a day or two. I am off to the hospital in an hour. Take care of yourselves and love the people with you!  

I’m so sorry. I’ll be praying for both of you.
