Hi

Those who know me on these boards know I have been married to AH for 39 years (+7 months). He has been alcohol dependant for last 6 or so years and his health has been seriously declining for the last 2 years. He is now in hospital for the last time. His liver has all but ceased functioning and his lungs aren't doing much better (after having smoked for nigh on 50 years). They have now stopped treatment and he is just being kept comfortable on morphine so the inevitable end will not be long now. I have just come home for a short break and to make sure my learning-disabled son is OK. (It is now 10.15pm here in UK). My emotions are all over the place but I have decided at last to hand over to my Higher Power. AH is Catholic and the priest has administered what used to be called the last rites.

Please keep AH and me and the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you.

Love, Tish xxx

Wish I could be there with you to support you.

I am so glad you are there with him. People need someone there. I always said this is the most awesome and horrible experience. You are very couragous, and this will change you. the experience will truly be hard, but you will grow so much. I am so proud of you.

I am so sad this disease has done this to your husband. He is very fortunate to have you there with him.

You are are in my prayers. love,debilyn
