I am so sorry to hear this. He was lucky to have you by his side. It is so hard to get out of the mode of fighting all the time.

I think this is going to take quite awhile. Since a bit over two years ago we went into fight mode so none of this was processed. Just kept moving and fighting and enjoying days together. Now it feels like two years of stuff has to be sorted in our hearts and minds Good luck to you steve!

I am so, so sorry. Dave’s death is a loss to all PCa patients. I know John and I were very affected that you could not return to Germany ~ Dave’s progress represented John’s potential progress and visa-versa.

Now Dave is enjoying those bright lights and all that food he talked about! And you are left behind, with a broken heart, but with faith in knowing you will see him again. Plus you have a beautiful son that will always be a reminder of the happy days in your marriage.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences, and, as others have said, please take care of You as you muddle through the upcoming weeks. I’m sure you are exhausted and could sleep for a month.

😢xo -Karen

So sorry for your loss dalipup .... I think that all of us here , in line to be next , hope to have someone like you to hold our hand , kiss us goodbye and to grieve for us a little when we are gone. He would be very comforted by your love.

I also think that .... after you grieve for a while ... he would want you to lift your gaze and look up to the bright new horizon that lies ahead for you. This difficult chapter of your life concluded and a whole new bright world awaits ... one full of promise and potential . The weight of loss will always be there but will diminish over time ... he would strongly wish for you to go out , move ahead and fully engage in the future that he could not. I think he would want that for you very much.

Best wishes ...

Its just so hard to know exactly what to say when I see the widows left by Pca. IMHO, your loss must allow some grieving, so may your tears wash away your pain, and I hope there are others near you who will be comfort in your time of need. Sadness when a loved one departs should give way to happy memories and some green shoots of recovery may grow from your loss. It just takes time, and you ought to know whose shoulder you can dampen with tears.

All the best my dear,

Patrick Turner.

Dalipup, I’ve been on both sides of this, as a hospice nurse taking care of a dear one who has passed and now with APC myself. The nurse in me, wants you to know it’s ok to cry anytime and to grieve the way you want to. Unfortunately, people in their own unsecure way, say things they mean for good but are awful. Only you can grieve your way. The way, I feel, God designed you. Praying for you

We may eventually need a group of wives who Had husbands that lost the PC battle.

My deepest most profound sympathies go to you.

There are no words during a time like this-

My husband also succumbed to PC in January this year.

You will be stronger than you know.

You will get through all the details you have to get through.

Then you will somehow realize that he is out of pain now and perhaps find peace there.

One day at a time you and your memories together find a place, and you know you will survive this.

Peace be with you!

Dalipup,

It was with sorrow that I read the heading of HU's first post this morning, your post. It was in the right order, number one.

Still in fight mode! A passing, a loss as significant as you have had, we all handle it differently. Some are immediately emptied and some may have a delayed reaction. Be ready for that.

Please take care of yourself. Do what you have to do whether it is some alone time or the companionship of a close relative or friend for a bit.

It will take time. We "don't get over it". We can --and it takes time-- "learn to live with a significant loss". The truth is--it sucks!

Your post has touched us. The responses show--the plain fact --that we care for each other here.

Dear Dali, Of course I am saddened by the news that you husband "Dave" has passed away. I am saddened at your loss of a Man you fought for during the years of his confirmed Pca. However for Dave I am joyful that his misery is gone and I want to do a happy dance for him. I know he left this earth at a rather young age of 65 but at least both of you have a son who will be the shadow of his Father. So Dave if you can read this save me a good seat....
