My heart goes out to you. I know he knows you love him. Every display of affection is a positive and powerful thing, and so important, for you, too.
It's very nice of you to bring him pizza. I hope he enjoys it very much.
Wishing you and your family strength and please remember to take care of yourself, as well, during this difficult time....  |
@
MuseumGhost, that sounds very difficult and I am so sorry for your loss.
And thanks so much for your comforting words and well wishes.
He couldn't eat the pizza, after we brought it to him. He is now only drinking Ensure nutrient drinks and is barely able to eat actual food.
We have gone to the hospital every day to see him, and I will continue to go until he passes.
He is now talking about wanting to be home to die. He doesn't want to die in the hospital, understandably.
It could be 1 day, it could be a week, or it could be two weeks or more. We have no idea right now how long he will be able to live. It takes so much effort for him to just breathe. But he is prepared now to move on, mentally. He is no longer holding onto false hopes that he can get better.
