Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Please pray for my husband

Dear Rebecca

Even though he might not be able to tell you, I am sure that your husband is comforted by your voice and your presence. He knows that you are doing all that you can for him, just as he would for you if your situations were reversed.

My mother still feels guilty in a way for my father spending his last few weeks in hospital. But caring for him would have physically overwhelmed her and not made his life any better. If it comes that you cannot look after your dear husband at home, even with help, do not think in any way it is your failing. All of us do what we can , just our hearts want to do more than our heads.

Your family will be there in spirit even if they cant be there in person.

Dear Rebecca

Just to let you know how much I care. I can feel your pain from your post. I can also feel the love you have for your husband.

I hope you can stay strong enough to help your husband through all this.

Rebecca,
You and your entire family are in our prayers. If there is a group that can help you it is Hospice. Please accept there care and there caring, the dealings I have had with Hospice has been wonderful and ongoing. Between them and your faith you will endure. Find strength in knowing that he would want you to carry on.

Rebecca, your words bring tears to my eyes, but also remind me of how "blessed" I am to have the trivial issues I consider problems in my own life. I happily return these blessings and the strength from them in the form of prayers, good thoughts and peace for you and your family.

Rebecca,

I am so sorry to hear what you and your husband are suffering through and I am at a loss for the right words to say to offer comfort.

All I can do is add my voice to all the others wishing you the strength to be able to cope with all this.

Rebecca,
What you're going through is probably the hardest thing you'll ever have to do. You sound like a very strong woman, and I know you'll get through this. Calling Hospice was a good thing for you to do, I'm sure they will be a big help to you. I know you would like to be totally selfless, but don't. Make sure you do what's necessary for yourself in this trying time. Your kids will need you, and you them, but it will be easier for everyone if you can stay as healthy as possible through it all. Please write to us whenever you have the time and feel the need to share and accept our support.

Rebecca you and your family will be in our prayers.You are a great person to go through this by you husbans side.God bless you and your family.

Dear Rebecca,

It's so clear the heartbreak in your words and impossible to imagine the emotional pain you are living through right now. To care for your husband while AS pain is trying hard to defeat your efforts says so much about the kind of spirit you have, and your deep love for him.

I will keep you both in my thoughts, and hope you will keep reaching out to surround yourself with support.

With love and strength to you,
