Less Responsive
Paul has been less responsive and we've had to give him medicine more often because of pain and agitation. This morning when he was crying and said he didn't want to die and I wondered if I'm doing everything I can and am I making the right decisions for him. The guilt is overwhelming.

It's so hard to see someone you love in pain and not be able help them or fix it. Both of my parents lost their battles with cancer 20 years apart. I was with both of them near the end and felt so helpless and powerless. They both told me how much it meant to them to have their family near. I wanted then to live and get well but I also wanted their suffering to end. I was so torn and confused by my feelings. Those days were terrible and painful. With healing, that only comes with time, I look back on those days and count them as great gifts. It was a gift to have that time to be close to my parents when they needed me most.
Stay strong Justine, keep faith in yourself and remember your not alone.
