Guest roselle Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Gracy just got a gryt chest x-ray and blood test 5 weeks after finishing 6 months of chemo for osteosarcoma and now she is loosing her brother Howard who has never been sick a day in his 18.3 years of his life. He has sever arthritis, in a lot of pain and is on 3 pain drugs. He stopped eating last week and cry's when he's out of my sight. His anxiety is at the point of being another pain to deal with. We won't lay in his bed because it's so painful to get down, most of his spine is fussed. Gracy knows something is up and this will crush her she has been his constant shadow from the day we brought her home 7 years ago. I'm so sad and don't know how I'll get through it. How many times have I responded to a blog like this giving advise and telling the person that they are not alone. This is the lonely task I have ever done. The hardest part is that It's me making the decision that now is the time. Please say a prayer for dear sweet Howard and for Gracy who will have to cope with his loss also. Roselle, Gracy, Howard and LUlu the wiener dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mom2Shiloh Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 This really touches my heart... will keep you and Howard in my prayers and much white light that your heart may find peace and strength through this sad time. How wonderful that he hasn't been sick-- but their bodies wear out anyway, don't they? and we wish we had a wand to wave to take the pain away. If you can have someone come and he can leave from home it might not only be easier for him (and you) but allow her to say goodbye... they know anyway.... I'm so sorry for her sake too. Will be thinking of you all Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
