Cancer

Hi,

My name is Joanie if I haven't already talked with you.  Today is my 20th Anniversary and my husband passed away 1 year ago on the 15th.  I have the memories but sometimes that is just not enough.  Charlie was only 56 and had it for 3 weeks and 2 days.  It SUCKS!!!  I just hope that I will make it through the week, it seems so hard, I am going to try to look and think of all the fun things we did and try and take it from there.  It was not a fun thing to go through but Charlie did go fast and that is a blessing itself.  His last words were I LOVE and he couldn't finish it but I know what he was trying to say.  He died before he could get you out.  We need to find a test )blood) whatever so we don't get anymore Charlie stories.  They can send people to the moon (WHOOPI) find a cure for cancer instead.  I get angry and say thing s if I have offened anyone please accept my apoligies.  It is just hard for me right now.

Thanks for listening,

Joanie and MY GUARDIAN ANGEL CHARLIE

Dear Joanie,

Your pain and grief still feel so raw in your post; I am so sorry for your loss.

I want to let you know about the Bereavement Board that is part of the Johns Hopkins online web site provided for pc families.  You might find it helpful to connect with others who share your history with a pc patient.

I hope you begin to feel better over time; God speed.

Joan L
