support

One of the things that sticks in my mind today was a long talk with Judy. (Good friend who's 45 year old son has terminal brain cancer) She and Russ had spent yesterday with him while his wife worked. He is almost completely blind and requires help with everything. Still has a good appetite and pain under control with meds. (But some side effects and other problems that are expected) Judy and I worked together in Long Term Care and dealt with death and dying lots and agree with each other's beliefs on those sort of things. About the only thing you can do now is be there and listen and be supportive. He was able to work until just before Christmas. His goal has been to attend his son's wrestling meets, but that is getting harder and harder. He has his plans made and says he is ready. Hospice has become involved and has been great. Time will tell......................Remember them in your prayers
