[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] Lee~ Being the sick one in my relationship (though I'm going through nothing compared to what your wife is going through...) I can tell you what it is that I just long for from my signifigant other when I'm scared. I want support, love, and for him to tell me that no matter what, he's going to be there for me through the long hall. I want him to remind me how tough and strong I am, because when I'm down, I forget how much I've come through and how much more I can still endure. I want him to tell me it's going to be okay, even if he doesn't know for sure himself, because positive thinking is the MOST important part of all of this. For the most part he does well, but sometimes when my health suddenly does the big 180 like it's done in the last few weeks, I can tell that he gets a bit overwhelmed and I have to remind him that I don't expect him to be that "Alpha Male" and make my health problems vanish, but just do the little things have can do to make me feel better. Right now, one of those little things is that he's started giving me injections of my medication every morning so I don't have to be hospitalized. That's be an.... interesting.... experience, but it has benefitted both of us. I know you and your wife aren't ready to have the "what if" talk, and I can totally respect that. Maybe right now isn't the best time or place. But know this - couples around the world have to have that talk every day, regardless of health, due to the fact that death can come at any time because of crazy SUV drivers and other unplanned reasons. Maybe, when you DO have the talk, if you focus it more on planning for the future because BOTH of you can be involved in an accident or situation that will cut your life short at any time, that will seem more normal and it will be easier to do. I wish you luck with all of this. I can't imagine the pain that both of you are going through and I only hope that things do get better from here. I know that you love this woman dearly, and she loves you, and that right there is a blessing in and of itself. Hang in there and take care.... my heart goes outto you. ~Liz [/QB][/QUOTE]
