I don't have any sage advice but want you to know that my heart aches for you. My husband is also dying of pancreatic cancer and I know how hard it is to be a caretaker. I have gone through all of the emotions from feeling angry toward him to a feeling of panic when I think of life without him. You need to find a good counselor who can help you with this. It is too much for you to handle on your own. I hope knowing that others care will give you some comfort.

JL,
It does help to know that I am not as alone as I often feel. I'm considering counseling but haven't managed to move forward yet. I'm sure it will help but it is also an expense that we can't afford and I don't want to become dependant on. Both my husband and eldest daughter are getting counseling. I'm sorry for what you are going through also. Have you gone for counseling and if so has it helped?
Thanks, Karen
