Hello everyone, I am writing to first and foremost ask that nothing of what I am about to write appears on Facebook in any way, shape, or form. That includes groups, private groups, and secret groups. Your discretion and compliance with this request is of utmost importance to me.
I am currently at the nursing home, where I have been for two days, and where I intend to stay unless something changes. I am unable to talk, write about, or share this experience with you at this time. I could use some supportive hugs and understanding that I need privacy at this time. Thank you.
Dear Joan, No need for you to share your experience. I'm sending you strength and support via ESP and will continue to transmit those signals for as long as needed. I just hope that you have someone on-site to give you moral support and respite. ∼ myrtle
Myrtle, Yes, I have a local couple who will come at a moment' s notice day or night, and my Miami friend will be spending all day Wed with me. Thank you all for your support. It's my oxygen.
Oh Joan, you're probably experiencing what I went through a few weeks ago. No words can explain it and there are no words to share it when you're going through it. Just know that we're all here and thinking, praying and wishing the best for you.
You have a perfect right to privacy whenever you wish. Some things are just personal and private, and too deep for words. This is a time for you to be with your beloved Sid. Just know that our hearts and our prayers are with you.
I'm keeping you close in my thoughts tonight, Joan. Take some comfort in knowing you have many friends who appreciate and care for you. I cannot imagine how difficult these days are for you and completely respect your need for privacy. A cuppa of hot sweet tea and a giant hug to you.
For you and Sid I'm wishing peace, love, and all God's blessings.
Be as private as you need to be…some things are too profound for words or for sharing. I'm not on Facebook.The love that you and Sid have for each other will get you through this. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers during this rough time.
I will never be able to adequately express how much your support is helping me. I don't know if this is a crisis that will pass, or if it is the last one. What I do know is that the ONLY thing that is keeping me from a complete breakdown is knowing that so many of you have managed to survive it.
Dearest George, as usual, your words are beautiful.
Each one of you is a support beam holding me up. Thank you.
My dear, sweet Patty is providing "text" support. My life long friend (a physician) will be driving 2 hours tomorrow morning to attend the Hospice evaluation and meeting with me.
My son and sister are waiting for me to give them the word to fly across the country. All of my friends are giving me so much love and support -I never realized how many people cared so much about me. I only hope that someday I can give back to everyone. joang
I am in tears thinking of all you have done, you have given so much to me as well as so many others here. It is my turn to give to you. Stay strong, and know that you are in my prayers. (((Hugs)))
Dear Joan,I hope you can feel all our arms around you,you have certainly held out your artms to us and now is our time to be here for you. Constant prayers being sent out for you and your beloved.
Joan, thanking you for all you have done and wishing you strength and peace for this part of the journey. So glad you have good support. Please try and look after yourself.
I do want everyone to know that I was able to get Sid transferred from the nursing home to Hospice House. The difference in facilities is incalculable. Besides the caliber and level of staffing, as well as their expertise in end of life issues, Hospice House is exactly 10 minutes from my house, and I wasn't speeding. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. I came home to take a shower, and will sleep tonight on the sofa bed in his room.
