AlwaysHappy

Sending my best wishes to you and yours Mothership - I am really at a loss for words which doesn't happen - its very disturbing that someone could behave in such a way. I hope that he has regained consciousness.

Mothership - just wanted to second what others have said. That woman should be ashamed of herself. Sending you heartfelt hugs and hope your stepson has regained consciousness xxx

Mothership

My OH is going up to see our boy today. I cant go, If his ex wife is there I might lose it, and make things worse. His poor mother has had the unenviable task of telling everyone he doesn't want to see anyone, especially his children, it upsets the children and him. I understand why she's angry, we all are at the cancer but not with the poor soul dying from it. I cant even begin to imagine what's going through his mind, we just heard last night he's been counting the days/ hrs he has left, he's in pain , nauseous and no doubt scared. I know this is going to sound terrible , but I'm praying that he doesn't come to if he's going to have to face people like that.
Thank you for being there and your kind words, late last night with everyone asleep I had no one to turn to, thank you for being there when I needed to talk. You are a lovely bunch :A

Was totally at a loss of what to say when I read your post from last night . I can understand everyone being angry , im assuming he has kids with her? hence the outburst? but I can also understand him wanting them to remember him as he was not as he is now and that it must have been such a terrible decision to make . Regardless, to use up the last few days a person has screaming at him is just so unacceptable and I hope shes not normally like that, though she will now have to live with what she did. Such a sad sad situation, hugs sent to you and everyone in your family mothership :grouphug:

He has two kids with her, his mum and him took one of them back to her a few days ago (she's 16), he didn't want her to see him die. He only had a week or so according to the drs, anyway my OH has just two minutes ago been called to the hospital he's to get there straight away. I'm assuming this is it now. I've got an ear and sinus infection, and I'm staggering like a drunk, I felt it best for me not to go. Out of respect really, I think my OH and his mother need to be with him. I'm praying he's not in any pain.

Oh no they are very good about the pain relief from what I remember when my grandad died a few years ago (also from cancer) from what I was told, he wasn't in any pain as they did dose him up well same with my great aunt, she had to come off all the drugs to change her will (long story) then they dosed her up again and waited.

At least his dad and grandma are with him, I so hope if it is time its peaceful and painfree for him I really cant put across the internet the hug I want to send you. The only thing I can think to say is about a story my mum told me about my nana, she died in hospital and in the last few days kept talking to someone no-one else could see, according to nana she was a really nice lady, we like to think it was someone from the family come to collect her

Mothership Just wanted to add my hugs and thoughts for you at this awful time, and to hope that your stepson has peace for his last few days. Clearly his ex-wife isn't thinking straight just now. I'm glad some of us were here to help when you needed it last night, and you know we'll continue to be here.
Love and hugs

Mothership, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that you and your family stay strong for each other at this most difficult time. Take care of each other, this is a time when families are tested to the utmost - unfortunately, I have experience with this. Love to you all xx
