Oh my friend, you will be blessed! I sat with my father in law dying of brain cancer. It was hard, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. His daughter and I sat with him for 4 months and talked endlessly of his memories, loves and travels, storing up the memories as he re-lived his journey thru this life. Once you resign yourself to the inevitable, the joy begins to come in. He confessed his regrets, told of his joys etc. When the time came we held his hands as he breathed his last and it was the most spiritual, graceful and beautiful thing I had ever experienced. It was only matched by watching his grand daughter born 11 months later. Keep the faith! The beauty will come!

So very hard. You have my respect and prayers.

I’m so sorry. That has got to be about the toughest thing anyone has to do in life. Just be there with her and for her. If she is a praying person, pray with her and pray for her. Also, see to it that you take care of yourself and that you have a support system. I am a praying person and if you don’t mind I will pray for you both.

Thank you

How can I watch my wife slowly die?

With love, anguish, and compassion, if you're really lucky. With support. With rage. With fear.

With grace?

When my first wife died, after 18 years together, I didn't know what to do. Hell, I didn't even know who I was without her. There's nothing you can "do". Love her. Be there for her. Be kind. Be strong
.There will be plenty of time for grief. But that time is not now.
Cherish the moments. Cherish and adore her for as long as God allows. Show her she made the right choice walking this world with you and that she is more than a wife, a lover , a partner, that she is and will always be a part of your very soul.

Thank you, she is all of the above I am just feeling a little lost

@Thomas1965 You're welcome. I know the feeling. There are no words. All we can do is hold tight to those we love and try to make it through one more day.
