My husband has slipped into a coma. I guess now I begin the bedside vigil. The nurse said no more than 48 hours at best. Cancer sucks!

(((Charlene)))
You're right! This does suck! So sorry to hear this news. Many arms are surrounding you and many prayers are being said for you and for Danny. Please know that you are not alone. All of us who have already been through this are with you in spirit sending strength and lifting you up. I'm sure there are many outstretched arms and familiar faces waiting to welcome Danny with joy and love as he begins his next great adventure. God bless him!
As you hold Danny's hand, we are holding yours.
Cathy

Cathy, that was beautiful the way you wrote that. I just posted in the topic Charlene put up after this one. It is so hard to find the right words. I am touched by your words. My heart really hurts for Charlene. Thanks for your words.

Thanks Mary,
My heart aches for her also...and for you, and for everyone who is dealing with the devastation of this disease. Sometimes, when we all are feeling most alone, just knowing that someone understands your pain because they've walked the same path is a huge comfort. And there is always solace in the power of prayer! Even though we all are strangers located all over the world I really feel a strong connection to everyone here. And I hurt when you do.
Thanks for your kind words Mary. To you and Charlene, and everyone who reads this, my prayers today are being said for all of you.
Cathy
