Bob, I’ve only just picked up your news as I don't come on here very much these days. So sorry to hear of your news. It must be devastating for you both when Jess has already gone through so much.
I lost my wife to cancer in 2006. She was diagnosed with it in 1995. We both retired a year later to enjoy time together as she was told it was an aggressive form and they couldn’t say how long she had. We had spent a lot of time apart over the years due to her work so the time together was a bonus. Whilst the doctors wouldn’t say how long she had, several times they intimated that it wasn’t long. So we sort of lurched from one low point to another. My wife, far braver than me just took it on the chin and said what will be will be. I wished I could have had her fortitude. Strange that it may sound, once we knew that there really wasn’t much hope, I think we probably had the best times of our marriage in that it brought us very close. And I think it’s that memory more than any other that sticks with me still.
Life isn’t fair, it sucks at times and I ceased to believe in God and religion a long time ago. Make the very most of your time together.
Just reading back through that I don’t think I’ve really expressed what I meant to say, I’m not that good with putting down thoughts....but I feel for you both.
