Everyone is different and deal with things differently.<br /><br />I would talk about how we met and fell in love. I would let the person know that I would miss them but that if they passed I would be sad but able to carry on. They need to know that. I would let them know that they would always be in my heart and that they would never really leave me because they would live on in memories and our children. I would thank them for loving me all these years. I would listen and talk about whatever they wanted to. I would listen to their fears and encourage them not to hold back anything. This is the time to comfort each other and for total honesty between you both about what is happening. Neither one of you have to be strong all the time. It is alright for either of you to cry. Tell them to fight but if they can't anymore it is okay to let go. I would bring up funny things that happened that made us laugh. Talk about the first steps your children took, the first day of school, your first appt. or house you shared. Vacations you took. Read him the newspaper and keep him in touch with what's going on in the world outside of his bed. Tell him about his beloved cats and the elk and bears outside. Hold his hand and just be there. That is what he wants. He also wants to know that you are taking care of yourself. It is important to him to know you are okay. <br /><br />Someone told me Where there is life there is hope. Tell that to Jim. That helped me beyond words. I took each day one at a time and was filled with graditute for each day we shared as each day was a gift. Do not dwell on things you think you should have done dwell on the happy times you shared. Jim, wonders what he did to deserve this. Tell him nothing that he is a wonderful man and life can be so unfair.<br /><br />I pray everyday for you and Jim's recovery. I understand how hard this is for both of you.Quilterbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223455302025468199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32645399.post-43156712644312020962011-03-10T20:17:16.212-07:002011-03-10T20:17:16.212-07:00Nancy - I'm not sure what I should say. I do ...Nancy - I'm not sure what I should say. I do know that if I could find a way, I'd help you find the money you need to take Jim to FL. Really, the quilting world is a generous one. Please let us know, specifically, what you need. I'm hopeful that our quilting fellowship will rally and take care of you and your sweet, sweet husband. In any case, know that there is a whole group out here who thinks about you and wishes to help, in any way that we possibly can.Nancy Anne in the Finger Lakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593052489885762225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32645399.post-24833844655678355732011-03-10T18:14:33.851-07:002011-03-10T18:14:33.851-07:00He knows....He knows....quiltsbycherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585100117366467071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32645399.post-35293057746401920522011-03-10T13:35:28.319-07:002011-03-10T13:35:28.319-07:00You're so right Nancy - you never know what yo...You're so right Nancy - you never know what you have until it's no longer there - I shall hold my Nigel harder and longer than ever tonight - life is so precious and can be gone in a split second - take great care both of you and I hope a solution for care for you both becomes easily apparentAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32645399.post-86519544334684514312011-03-10T03:47:49.191-07:002011-03-10T03:47:49.191-07:00je le remercierais de m'avoir fait connaitre l...je le remercierais de m'avoir fait connaitre l'Amour, le véritable amour...laurencetdnoreply@blogger.com
