I am going through this right now. In a matter of hours I will be a widow.

When I see my husband it is like I am in a living nightmare. I am scared to enter the room where is. He looks like a skeleton and his breathing is unsettling. Nothing can prepare you for it.

I just wish I could protect my family from having to see my husband's passing. I took a vow of marriage to love him through richer and poorer and in sickness and in health. When you are first in love and get married you never think about the sickness and health part of the pledge.

I read somewhere "death" is a formidable enemy. It sure is. It makes you feel so silly for worrying about money problems or the other silly things we focus our attention on.

I think about this alot now. Money isn't shite in the big scheme of life. You can have alittle or alot but happiness is what you make it. The most important thing on this earth is "Time" and it is your choice on how you use it. Sorry about your situation and prayers sent.

I’m so sorry. My husband passed away from cancer in January, and the suffering…I really don’t have the words. I’ve been reading a lot about anticipatory grief, and understand a little better what I’ve been through. In some ways, it was actually worse than losing him because at that point he’s no longer suffering. Saying a prayer for you and your family.
