I am so sad

[Missy]

My daughter in law that has been battling cancer for 18 mo. passed away the 13th. She was suffering the last few days. Hospice did a wonderful job of caring for her. We are missing her so much. Especially my son and the children.
Just want to thank all of you for your concern through out this last 18 mo. It really helped me to be able to talk about it to some of you. Thanks again.

You have my condolences Missy. Watching someone going through that really is tough. I went through it with my mother and I don't know that I could do it again.

Sorry for the loss. She suffers no more.

Missy, I am so sorry about your daughter-in-law. My deepest sympathy to you, your son and the rest of the family. I am glad that hospice was of help. They helped a very close friend of mine when she died, as well as her family and friends afterward. So, that might be a resource for you and the family if needed.

Missy,

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your daughter-in-law. I, too, watched my dear mother pass on from cancer just two years ago. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.

As soon as your daughter-in-law saw the face of God, her pain and suffering were over. That is the hope we cling to.

Sincerely,

Christina L - Colorado

Missy,

My heart aches for you. I lost my beloved father a couple of years ago to cancer and the experience will never leave me. I couldn't imagine loosing one of my daughter-in-laws in that way. I just pray that the Lord will comfort you in the way that only He can.

Thank You

Thanks to you all for the kind thoughts. I will pass them along to my son. I have learned to trust each and every one of you on here. This site is made up of people who have all suffered and have reached out to others to help them. So I know that each of you are sincere. Please know that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Missy. Such a battle you all have fought. My dear Joe had cancer and I sat with him for a year. Hospice joined us for the last six months and became a part of the family. We both looked forward to seeing them every day and they were so caring and reassuring, and helpful in getting us through. Afterward, they stayed with me for a year when I needed to talk to somebody. I am so glad they were there for all of you. I know you miss your dear daughter-in-law and there are really no proper words of comfort except to tell you "I care" - and I do. It is hard. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Ann

 

[Missy]

Thank you, Ann! I appreciate it.
I didn't know hospice would keep coming back although they all said if we needed them to call. You surely must have appreciated that.
I didn't realize that your husband had died of cancer. When was this? Are you doing okay? Since you have been though the same experience you know what I am talking about. It is a very hard thing to watch.
The nurses are really good though. And the doctors and chaplains.
What was ironic about this is my daughter in law was executive secretary in the office of Texas Home Health and had worked with most of these nurses and had been friends. She had set up some of these programs. All of the nurses gave her lots of attention but one was just extra special. All of them came to the funeral and even the hospital nurses came. Everyone loved her.

 

[Missy]

There are quite a few on here who have lost loved ones to cancer. You all know exactly how it is. And how hard it is to watch them suffer. Although that is not the only disease that takes our loved ones. Others are just as bad. I truly feel for each and everyone of you.

Missy

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your daughter-in-law. It is so difficult when someone close leaves us. My thoughts are with you.

Missy - The hospice program includes a year of support for any family member who needs or wants it. I went to a six-week grief 'course' after Joe's death. It is a support group to help you get through and if one six weeks isn't enough, you can go - and go, etc. You can call on them any time during that year and they are there for you. And they want you to keep coming to help the ones who come after you.

We found out in early Jan of 1996 Joe had cancer and we were devastated. He went through all the medical things to no avail. So we just stayed together all the time and talked and laughed and ran around together wherever we felt like going until he couldn't go anymore. Then we just sat together the rest of the time. We took care of all the things people should do and say when a loved one is leaving. It was probably the most fulfilling (and saddest) year we ever had together and tho it was nearly impossibly hard, I wouldn't give it up. We had an opportunity of a year that most people never get. I lost him shortly before Christmas that same year. He's always near, tho.

 

[Missy]

That is the way we feel about our daughter in law. We had time to say alot of things. Although she never gave in to the fact that she was dying until just a few days before she died.
I am glad to know that about hospice. I wondered what they meant when they were saying some ot those things. My son and his kids may have to take advantage. Although so far they seem to be doing okay but one never knows about kids.
Thanks.
Missy
