| Please pray for me and my family as we lost my husband, Norm , to bladder cancer Tuesday nite. He fought so hard for 2 years and a yr. ago today had a new bladder put in. I feel so helpless and so alone. I don't know how i'm going to continue on. The farmhouse that we live in is so special and it has been in the family since 1902. We are all so close and that is the only thing tonite that I take comfort in. I can't believe now that I'm a widow. |

So sorry for your loss, Alanna--bladder cancer is sure hard on a body and your husband is at peace, now. Sad for those left behind, but I'm glad that you can take comfort in your family and the farmhouse.

| Thanks for all of your replies and beautiful prayers. Cabot, Pa is about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh. We just moved onto the family farm about 7 years ago after my father-in-law passed. We had lived down the road in a little cape cod our daughter bought. It's going to be so lonley with out my husband. We've been fighting this cancer for 2 years ago, with all the chemo drugs, hospital visits, nursing home stays. I'm so used giving the shots to him and self cath 4-5 times a day that I don't know what to do with myself. |

Alanna - I know what you are going through as I am a widow too. It's so hard to have an "empty" house....Know that you will get through this. You must allow yourself time to process everything. I am with Grace on this one - let folks embrace you and you them. The worst thing you can do is to withdraw from those you love and that love you. I am keeping you in my prayers - you truly are not alone.
Blessings, Sheri

Alanna,
No words can adequately sooth your broken heart. So I'll just say how sorry I am for your loss and I'll pray for the Lord's peace to surround you.
Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

Alanna,
I am so sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers. Some of what you may be feeling at this time is sheer exhaustion. Being a caregiver for so long can take its toll without really knowing it; the caregiver keeps on going and giving because they have to. Give yourself time to just rest; don't make any major decisions at this time.
I agree that you should let the folks that are willing to help do just that. There really are people that want to help and they mean it when they ask, "Is there anything I can do?" There presence and generosity are what you need now.
Sending up prayers,
Darlene

Alanna I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom this past Feb. to ovarian cancer. Her battle lasted 3 yrs and I spent much of the last few months of her life at her side helping out in any way I could. My dad needed a break. It was very hard on not only mom but the whole family. I'm not sure everyone understands that cancer claims the whole family, not just the person who gets it. I know that its very difficult for your whole family. When mom passed my family did not shed tears. We were so relieved mom's struggle was over. I'm sure some at her funeral thought us a heartless bunch but when you're talking years of ups and downs it becomes a blessing when it is over for your loved one. Some of my siblings would ask me if this was normal for us to feel like that? My answer as a nurse for so many yrs in geriatrics....ABSOLUTELY. I still miss mom every day and I'm sure I will for the rest of my life. I stayed a month and a half after my mom's passing with my dad so he'd not be so lonely during the hardest days so soon after. Do you have a family member or close friend who can stay with you or spend some extra time with you? It helps to have someone close who understands. Take extra good care of yourself for awhile. You deserve it dear Alanna. My prayers are with you.
Happy farmgirl sister #353

Alanna, how are you doing? I've thought of you many times and wished I was there to share a pot of tea/coffee and listen to you and help you as a sister would. I have lost most of my family to cancer, held her hand and watch the life leave my beloved grandmothers eyes. Please allow yourself the time to grieve and find your balance. While I am not the most religious person around, this passage from Psalms 23rd always brings me comfort
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me"
The key word is through, and I have spent many times contemplating and meditating on the that word. It may sound strange, but knowing that the divine has a light at the end of the dark tunnel of pain and loss may comfort you too.
Hugs

such a hard position to be in. the feeling of loss is huge. i met a new friend yesterday. she lost her man in june. the sadness is over whelming. we know your pain and are so sorry you are going through this. the time will come when the hole will fill with the good memories. you will be able to think of him with out wanting to stop breathing yourself. in my life i have lost way too many loved ones. some way too soon. right now just hanging on and letting the clock tick time by is good. staying busy with those you love helps too. remember who he is is now a part of who you are. you carry him with you always. Jehovah promises us that all those in the memorial tombs will be resurrected back to life and reunited with their loved ones.it is a wonderful hope. i remind myself of this promise when i am missing my loved ones. i will carry you in my heart today and pray for you to have good sleep and lots of love in your life right now. so very sorry for you. sherrye
