I'd like to thank all on this page who have taken the time to answer questions, offer support or share their own important stories. My loving husband was released from his suffering this past Tuesday, April 23. He fought to the bitter end and suffered greatly from terminal restlessness until the hospice team changed his med rotation to morphine every 2 hrs. combined with alternating atavan or halperadol...all liquid. Right now there are mundane things to occupy my mind and hands and I'm immersing myself in music that has always helped me deal with things I usually suppress. The hospice team was wonderful and helped more than I could even have imagined. My children and grandchildren are there to help with anything/everything I need now. Though utterly and profoundly sad, I feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by them all. My BFF whom I've known since 1st grade (70 yrs. ago) is coming in from Kansas for the services. I wish all of you comfort, healing, and the strength to fight on in whatever form works best for you. Godspeed.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Hopefully the music will bring some peace. Bless your wonderful family who supports you. And a special blessing for your bff. It is so hard to watch our loved ones at the end and feel helpless in easing their suffering. I'm so glad your hospice figured out how to ease your husband pain and restlessness. Thank you for letting us know. -Deb
It’s always hard for me to find words - transferring the feelings of sorrow into the right words. Music helps me in such moments, too. You are surrounded by your family and you know, that your husband got the best care possible. This doesn’t make the sadness go away but you know that all has been done. My sincere condolences, one day we are all re-united.
I am sorry for your loss, may you husband RIP. Take care of yourself.
Sending you a huge (((HUG))) with sincere compassion and sympathy Mrs. Shamrock46😓🌻

My deepest condolences on your loss, MrsShamrock46. Sometimes I think the aftermath is as difficult as the days that lead to it, because everything is so different. Please be gentle with yourself as you navigate these new times.
Being there for your husband, fighting beside him to the end, is incredible gift to give someone. It means so much!

I actually hate prostate cancer now. I think we and all our brothers who are RIPing, need to rise up and attack our Governments who do not fund cutting edge treatments. Australia, I need proton therapy to have a shot at staying alive more than about 2 to 3 years more, yet, today, I am as well as, still work, heading for 13 years in, got our first version of Proton (Bragg South Australia) coming on stream in 2025, naturally it is funded for about its first 5 years, only for kids and head and neck cancer. Old guys with prostate cancer, it ain't breast cancer, doesn't have a pink cricket test to bless it with dedicated nurses and cash, well, you are haddit and just whistleing dixie heading South. Pluvicto, Lu 177, ha, 60k. If you can get it.
I pray you find peace after this difficult trial. Your husband is released from his suffering and I'm certain he would want you to find happiness in this world. When you look at your children and grandchildren, I hope you can see him and recall the wonderful memories you created together. This is the desire of all the men for their spouses and families suffering from this dreadful disease.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
May be rest in peace and may you find much joy in life.

I’m terribly sorry for your loss and especially that he suffered so. Mine too became agitated but the liquid Ativan and Haldol kept him calm until his end. Do take advantage of the grief counseling provided by hospice, it has definitely helped me with coping strategies

There’s a dear little plant that grows on our Isle,
‘Twas Saint Patrick himself, sure, that set it;
And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It shines thro’ the bog, thro’ the break, and the mire-land,
And he call’d it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland,
The dear little Shamrock, the sweet little Shamrock,
the dear little, sweet little Shamrock of Ireland.
.....................................................................................................................................
That dear little plant still grows in our land,
Fresh and fair as the daughters of Erin;
Whose smiles can bewitch and whose eyes can command,
In each climate they ever appear in.
For they shine thro’ the bog, thro’ the brake, and the mire-land,
Just like their own dear little Shamrock of Ireland,
The dear little Shamrock, the sweet little Shamrock,
the dear little, sweet little Shamrock of Ireland.
...........................................................................................................................
That dear little plant that springs from our soil,
When its three little leaves are extended,
Denotes form the stalk we together should toil,
And ourselves by ourselves be befriended,
And still thro’ the bog, thro’ the brakes, and the mire-land,
From one root should branch, like the Shamrock of Ireland,
The dear little Shamrock, the sweet little Shamrock,
the dear little, sweet little Shamrock of Ireland.
...............................................................................................................................
May you and your family forever hold his memory deep in your hearts.
(Please stay with us..we need you)
