Having a bad day.

Thinking of you Merlot, I hope you’re able to regain a bit of energy tomorrow. It must be exhausting supporting your family both practically and emotionally whilst trying to manage your own feelings at the same. Thinking of you and praying you’ll find the strength to cope with it all. x

Dear Merlot sending my love, sympathies and prayers to you all. I remember all too well the hepatic itching when Paw’s liver was failing, old fashioned “full strength” Piriton gave some relief plus as much water as his system could cope with, but it was a dreadful memory.
Whether you are religious or not, this Easter will be a very special time for you all and I hope the love of the family will lift you up and bring you strength.

Yes I wish I could help too Merlot such a difficult and sad time for all your family.
Love and prayers to give you all strength to cope with this

Lots of love, sympathy and hugs.
Wish I could help

Merlot I’d just like to echo what Bathsheba said about the District nurses.
We nursed MiL at home and the District nurses gave us all the support we needed. Nothing was too much trouble for them, so don’t hesitate to ring them if you’re unsure about anything.
I’m sure your DD will appreciate being at home with you all and you will manage fine.
Thinking of you all xx

Oh Merlot I could cry for you all, it's so bloody unfair. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

I do so hope your darling girl gets home for Easter and enjoys being with her family. Try not to be scared, I'm sure the district nurse network will be able to give you all the support you need. Just hug your girl as much as you can, drink her in. Sending you love and hugs, and wishing you strength as you go through this

Just to say you and your DD are still in my thoughts Merlot . I can’t begin to imagine what heartbreak you must be going through. It really puts things into prospective and I feel quite ashamed being so wrapped up in my worries when your poor DD is so very poorly .
Having her home is absolutely the right thing to do if you are able to . Wishing you much strength and in the sadness xx

Thinking of you all every day. Lots of love. xxxx

Oh Merlotgran, I am so, so sorry. I have just read your OP.

What devastating news and it's no wonder you feel as you do. What agony, for you and your family, and also for your dear daughter.

I know many of us know the utter pain of wearing a mask, trying to be supportive, positive, helpful but all the time just wanting to cry, and feeling so helpless and hurt. A terminal diagnosis means life stands still and what used to matter, doesn't matter any more.

My thoughts are with you Merlot and I do help sharing your feelings helps you to unload a little in a desperately sad situation.

I'm away with intermittent wifi - just read this merlot and can do no more than send love to you and your family at this time x

Words seem inadequate but wanted to send you love and prayers. Do hope you find the strength to support your family in the coming days.x

No words, Merlot, just lots of love and gentle hugs. I just wish there was more.

Merlot nothing I can say can take away your pain but sending love to and prayers for your family.

Oh those poor boys merlot. God bless them, and all of you.

Just very sincere thoughts for you all and prayers for your dear daughter.

Continuing to think of you and your daughter Merlot, and will continue to do so during the coming days. Having her home will truly be something to cherish. .

Please take every opportunity to speak to the district nurse. She’ll have all your concerns covered.

Really sorry to hear this Merlot. I lost my son to cancer many years ago my heart bleeds for you it is so hard to see your child suffer . I understand a little of what you are going through but nobody truly understands except you. I send you my prayers and please feel free to pm me if you think it will help at all

So sorry you are going through this Merlot . Thoughts and prayers are with you all

Even more in my thoughts for the coming weekend when your darling girl is hopefully home amongst her loving family. Hugs and love for you Merlot

Desperately sad news. Life can be so brutal. I can only add that you are in my thoughts and I hope your dear daughter can be made as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

merlot nothing I can say really. I hope your DD gets home for the weekend. I hope your ex SIL is looking after your DGS well. It must be so hard for you all. All of you will be in my prayers .

merlot I can’t add anything to what’s been said but I’m thinking of you and your lovely girl this evening.

I can't imagine anything sadder. My heart goes out to you.

Merlotgran, I too find it difficult to use words to express my feelings for you and your lovely family. I am so glad there is so much love surrounding your daughter and that you continue to find the strength to support her and her sons. I hope you too are being supported. It just reminds us all that the only thing that really matters is love, thank you and bless you.

So hard for you all.
