My Heart is Breaking

I am the wife of Ray Trevitt. He and I both have been using this site for the past four years to both comment about treatments and gain advice from informational posts from others. Sadly, Ray is in hospice now and we are cherishing every moment he has left of his life. After being married to the love of my life for 48 years, it breaks my heart to know he has such little time left. He was not only courageous in the face of his battle with aggressive PCa, but also maintained his sense of humor and wicked intelligence. Lastly, I wish to thank you all for the help along the way. I know Ray really appreciated this site as a source of information and at times light-hearted humor. Stay strong men and continue to fight the good fight. I know personally the fight is worthwhile. Ray is one amazing man who lived life to the fullest even during the 5 years he lived with PCa. A proud father, cherished grandfather, and the most loving and generous husband I was fortunate enough to have make Ray a dear beloved man to our family.

48 years together creates a very strong bond of attachment. .You stayed with Ray like a rock in last 5 difficult years . This is time to start detaching and allow his soul a peaceful passage to the other dimension. Its going to be hard.. and it will hurt...But we, human beings are so weak when it comes to life and death. Wishing you strength and peace in these very difficult times of your life.

Thank you for sharing your experience and Ray's at such a difficult time. It helps us all. I agree with you that this site is so supportive and informative. There's no comparable place to go while our guys deal with so much. I'm sorry your wonderful husband is coming to the end. I wish you both a peaceful journey after a way-too-short fight against this terrible disease.

Sorry you were robbed of time. Good to have wonderful memories of the loves of our lives. Peace be with you both and your family and friends.

I’m so very sorry. My husband battled for 8 years and lost him to this horrific disease 11 months ago. I knew him since I was 16 years old. My life is forever change. If you need to talk send me a message. I can help you❤️
