I’m so very sorry. I wish I had the words to say that would make things better. I thought of you this week as I remembered a book my aunt made “required reading” when my grandmother was dying. It’s called Final Gifts by Maggie Callanan.
Sending you many good thoughts. You are stronger than you think.
There’s no shame in going through all of the emotions that this process will evoke. Try to take each feeling as it comes and know that tomorrow is another day.
have you ever read the daily warrior?? tammy has ALS and has for like 15 years,, i think you could gain a lot of strength by reading her blog or dropping her an email.. she is amazing…
An emoticon, I know, but I feel sad for you. But rest assured, when it really counts and you really need to (and you will) , you’ll look him in the eye.
Remember that one day, there will be no eyes to gaze into…those eyes still think and feel even if the body doesn’t…he KNOWS that you hurt for him…look into those eyes with all the love you have, for he WILL remember that (and so will you)…I would give anything to be able to look into my mother’s eyes again…be strong and be there…

Then look into the eyes of your children instead, for surely you will see him there.
He’s in my prayers, my friend.
