Maybe 3 Weeks The Doctor Thought

Early this week in one of the most important doctors’ appointments that we have yet to have over my wife’s failing health we were told if we stayed on this course of treatment she probably have about 3 weeks to live. That will get your attention! We were given 3 choices to consider.

  1. Do nothing and try and make her comfortable. ( Not really an option)
  2. Send her home without anything and by the first part of next week to try some different.
  3. Put her in the hospital right now and get really aggressive with her treatment and that she will be in the hospital for at least a week.

For us there really wasn’t a choice and that was option number 3. ( we had actually thought they were just going to send her home)

Will this work? We have no idea and this is not fun to go through for both of us.

For believers, it really comes down to one simple question.

Do you have faith or not?

We do and we rolled the ” faith dice” of our lives because in the end we really didn’t have a choice.

Hope Is All That We Have

As we go through life with our struggles one has to realize that all of us have and need is hope. Now that hope can be found in our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. My wife ( who could have been my late wife we the news we were given today) has this favorite saying” There is always if you are on this side of the sod” That is true. So she will be gone for at least another week to get the help she needs. I will on the other hand sit in an empty house by myself again and some things never change. It’s no fun going through tough times alone and I have never gotten used to it. So all I must have is hope from our Lord Jesus Christ that the house won’t seem so big and the tears won’t be so bad this time. Because my biggest fear is losing her and for that I am certain.

Church This Morning?/Cancer

As I sit here this early November morning, I ponder whether I should attempt to go to church?

You see my wife’s cancer seems to be picking up its attacks on her body. Her daughter is coming by to spend time with her, which will be good. I feel tired, alone and emotionally exhausted. Then in the morning, we have a doctor’s appointment with a cancer specialist that we have been told in advance she very well have to be hospitalized for the 4 time in about a month.

When we started this fight with her health we thought it would be about her heart but cancer decided to rear its ugly head. ( like so many others)

Am I going to church this morning? I have no idea. Will I be able to take a nap before that decision has to be made? Nope

Life After Losing a Loved One

On this cold November morning, the stillness is only broken by the breathing of my most cherished loved one. The question for me is how many more times will I hear that cherished sound? Of course, none of us know when that sound will end for any of us yet that can be scary and yet comforting.

Will this be the day that those sounds will end? I have no idea but based on conversations with her and how her health has started to fail more and more each day and sometimes each hour. I will still hurt like I have never felt before and yet she will be in eternity with The Lord Jesus Christ and that is all that truly matters.

So is today the day I really start to look at how life would be without her after all of these years? Probably……………………
