I will be signing off from this site. My husband, Jim, died January 9, peacefully at home. He fought long and hard for a year, and I am so, so proud of him for that. Thanks for your thoughts, prayers, and willingness to share your experiences. My deepest hopes and best wishes for all out there going through this themselves or with family members.
Respectfully,
Megan

Thanks for your support -
Megan – I am sorry to hear about your husband and best friend. I am still under the assumption that everyone on here, and out there are going to turn out okay, that they are going to beat it. It is tough to realize this is just not how it works. I am thinking of you. Best wishes to you too.
Megan, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. My heart just breaks for you. Although he didn’t die from cancer, I lost my husband in May, 2006, so I can understand some of the hurt and loneliness that you feel. I don’t know how old your husband was but from the pic, he looked young. My husband was 70 years old. I also lost my 39 year old son in 2003. I know there is not much I can say to make it feel any better at this time. I just wanted you to know that I care. Love you, Joyce from NC.
Oh I wish you were still on the site Megan… maybe you still check in? My husband is dying from metastatic rectal cancer that is now in his lungs and is inoperable (6 tumors).... We have been together for 25 years since high school and married for almost 20 years. I have only faced my adult life with him by my side and I am feeling like I am going to be so completely alone in this life it is indescribable. We have two boys 11yrs and 6yrs old I am just hoping to talk with someone that can relate to what I am experiencing and we can help each other through.

Dear Megan; I just read your good bye and I hope that you return to the site as you can be of help to others. I am so sorry for your loss and right now I am sure you want to steer as far away from the word Cancer as possible. That is only natural and everyone does understand that. Your love for your husband will live on for you and you can be proud of his strength and take that as your guiding light in your future. Yes you do have a future for which you need to live bravely and vicariously for the both of you. Big task but you can do it. Believe it or not you might find this sight a place to begin the healing. Everyone here needs someone to talk to, better someone who has been through it. Some of the posts are from members of a family who are trying to do their best for their loved one. You can help them I’m sure. May god be good to you and please believe that you have an important role ahead. Love Louise from Canada eh…..
