Hi Kathy, I see you were able to add the pictures, you both looked very happy together.
I am so sorry you had so little time with your husband after diagnosis. I have heard many stories with Glioblastoma of short timeframes. Harry never beleived that he would not win the fight and I sadly knew the reality of the situation. I don't think he gave in to it until the final month. He never spoke of it, but I could tell he knew and he knew I knew. We made the most of his 17 months of our dream retirement. I told him if this is what we have then we need to do what we can while we can. It is a double edged sword though. In that time together, we were together everyday and I thank God for that. At the same time it has made the loss all the harder because we becames closer than we had been in 31 years. I am still in disbelief that he is really gone, because I feel him around me and that is comforting. It is so true about the animals. I have a cat that loved him dearly. I swear he sees him and he clings to me more than ever. He will come up on the bed and actually lay right on his pillow and look at me as if he knows how I feel.
I understand the that either way it happens, there are pros and cons. I oftened wondered which would be better for a person to live with. My father passed on april 12th 87 of a sudden heart attack. There are no goodbyes when that happens and it is such a shock to the system. To see someone go through such atrosities to their body for so long is also an awful situation.
We were fortunate that Harry did not lose his sight, although he continued to try to get up in the end and fell 2o times in the last couple months. I would leave the room for just a couple of minutes and he would try to get out of bed to get to the bathroom. It didn't matter that he had a potty chair and urinal right there. All he knew is he had to go. I had to call the ambulance many times. He broke ribs and cut himself. Please stay in touch, I find it good to talk. Jeanne Potter

Oh, Kathy - that was so fast!  I am so sorry for you - we at least had 4 years to fight and think and talk.  I can't imagine having things move so quickly - you must be devastated.  I see you love dogs - as do I - I have 4 and they really have helped me through dark moments because their love is so unconditional.  When I curl up & cry, they are right by my side and I don't have to worry about burdening my kids!  The dogs know I'm sad but don't talk back or take on my sorrow - they just love!  I would love to chat more with you - my email: ginamilne56@hotmail.com.  God Bless and keep us strong.
