It's been a long weekend

I'm sitting here watching my sweet DH sleep, finally after many many hours of restlessness and LOTS of thorazine. It appears he's experiencing terminal restlessness and the end might be sooner that later. I thought I was prepared but are we ever? My wonderful sister Susie, who's a hospice social worker from Chicago has been with me since Friday after noon and I don't know what I would've done without her...she's a Godsend. I had to call my two sons and let them know what's been happening and that was so hard and quite frankly, this all seems so surreal. Keep us in your prayers...talk to you soon.

Love Janie

Re: It's been a long weekend

My prayers and thoughts are with you, Janie. I cannot imagine what it will be like when I face this with dad.

Hang in there, and know that we are all with you in spirit.

Re: It's been a long weekend

My thoughts and prayers are with you also Janie. You are right, as ready as we think we are we are never really ready.... but we do what we have to do. Be thankful for special sisters. Hopefully you will get some much needed rest tonight.

Love, Deb
