Isn't life crap sometimes Stevieboy? You seem to know you are nearing the end which is sad but you have done kind of acceptance in your post.

I hope you find comfort and peace. Bless you. Xx πŸ’–πŸ˜•

"...ive already proved them docs wrong twice but i dont know how much more i can do"

Stay strong and keep fighting sweetheart. It's one thing to accept and another to give up. You have proved them wrong twice before so do it again. My thoughts are with you and we are here for you any time you need to talk or just need a hug.

Hugs

Bless you Stevieboy. My heart goes out to you and I can't find any words to bring you comfort. IPF is such a cruel disease and you are right it isn't fair. I am thinking of you.

Please don't give up the fight. You have been burdened with so much recently, perhaps you have more time than you think? Hospices usually take a different approach than hospitals and often cut out any unnecessary medication which might make you feel better for a while and afford you some precious quality time to spend with your loved ones. I wish you a good transition and inner peace.

Hi Stevieboy

I dont know how to reply but feel i realy need to reply. So sorry if i waffle on.

Firstly i must say i am very sorry to hear your sadness i pray with all my heart that you beat this for the third time. You are very young. I lost my mam when she was only 45 If you have family and you feel up to it write them all something personal they will treasure it for eternity.

Also I look after people on End of life and the lady i look after at the moment was in a hospice some 4 years ago to live out her last few weeks. She is now home and i have been looking after her for a year and she is not in any hurry to go anywhere she is still so full of life.

I hope and pray you too also have many more years to live

Again i appologize for waffling please know people are rooting for you x

Please don't give up fighting. It is natural that you feel angry - life is cruel. It seems to me that it doesn't matter whether you've lived life to the full, or lived life to the full, we're all equal when it comes to being dealt sickness and ill health.

Hi Stevie boy 03 I am sending you lots of spiritual wishes that if and when you pass over it will be peaceful but until then I hope the hospice staff take good care of you. I am so sorry your life has been so short but as you said life sucks it always seems to be good people who get to suffer the most and it does not make any sense anyway it was very nice to converse with you this once so a very sad goodbye x

Hello Stevieboy I rarely comment on people's posts but I couldn't let your post go unanswered. My heart goes out to you and your family but I also know there is little anyone can say to ease your emotional pain. 46 is incredibly young to be so ill but it's not the years we put in that count, it's what we put into those years. You are incredibly brave and philosophical, a role model for many of us.

I hope you are wrong in your belief that time is now running out for you we can never be totally sure when that moment will come.

I am not a religious person but I do believe that our real self, or what others call our soul, lives on in the Universe, We also live on in the memories of our loved ones and it is those memories that help then through the dark times.

What ever time you have left in this world whether it's to be long or short Stevieboy,I wish you peace and both emotional and physical​ comfort.

Stevieboy , I am so sorry that you have been so ill and are now going to be made comfortable as possible in the hospice. 15ltres a minute is a lot and my heart goes out to you. Our bodies can let us down and sadly weren't made to last forever but we are eternal beings all of us.

I am just getting ready to go to a hospice here where my dear friend Evan who I've known for nearly 50 years is a patient , he has been through so much the last two years. I don't want to waffle on just wanted to wish you love and hug you, huff xxxx

You have put up a good fight and won a few times already stevieboy DON`T give in now, fight and keep on fighting laugh and keep on laughing ( laughing is one of the most powerful medicines in the world) hold on tight to your faith and believe in yourself.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and will remain with you for another 20 odd years.

Dear Stevieboy. Tears in my eyes as I write this. Whilst accepting the truth - we all have to go. I'm in a real dilemma whether to say don't give in and fight - In the words of the Famous Welsh Poet Dylan Thomas - Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should rave at close of day: Rage , rage against the dying of the light. But as you say you are not old.

Bless you. You are surrounded by many friends and much Love - just read the responses.

I am new to this forum. Diagnosed two weeks ago Steve. Its the first post I have seen someone been so open about there future. I'm sad reading about your predictive future. You are younger than myself, and its hard to read. If you are right, I wish you well for the rest of your days. Hopefully its not your time. Although, I'd like to say to any friends or family of stevie, please make the most of of the time he as left.

Dear Stevieboy, you must be feeling so desperately ill, with pneumonia on top of IPF. I am very much hoping the pneumonia can be cured, so that you feel better in yourself. Hospices tend to be loving, cheerful places. I very much hope you will be able to find a few moments, to let us know how things are.
