    Dear Karen,
    Thank you for your encouraging words, the pain is so bad. My husband and I have been married 47 wonderful years, we were born in Hungary and lived in Germany after the war. I am 65 years old my husband was 69, I now have to take his ashes back to Hungary that is what he wanted. He always said that is where I was born and that should be my final resting place. This is so hard since he was not sick before and when he got MDS it was considered to be the mild kind and yet there is no easy road in this life. Karen, just love and hold on to your husband as hard as you can and ask lots of questions and don’t believe all the doctors tell you. Love, Gloria

    One day at a time. I think we are all in a 12 step program for life.

    Hold on Gloria. As a daughter going hrough this, your girls need you still. And if you have grandkids, they need you too so much. My kids are really having a hard time with their Papa being so sick. It will literally break our hearts when he passes. He is my best friend as is my mom.

    Try to stay strong. I know it is so hard.

    Gloria I cannot begin to tell you how I can cope. I think that I am just numb. My grieving started when Terry was first diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago. Pror to that she had Sweet’s. When her regular doctor told us to see a hemotologist/oncologist, I knew we were in for a rocky road. It was really tough on me and I think my wife was strong and positive for both of us. Now I am lucky that my work has been very understandinf for the past 1 1/2 years and continues to do so. It keeps me somewhat busy and connected. I try to shut out the memories where I think I could have done more and concentrate on the good ones. I truly do not know how I will progress without the other 1/2 of me but I know that I will.
    Your family and friends will really help you. Do not be afraid to talk about your loss and the memories you had – it will help. Willie

    Thank you all dear friends, in one weeks time I received 106 sympathy cards and money was send to the MDS foundation in his name. I am taking his ashes with my daughter to our home town in Hungary and he will have a tombstone there, it was his last wish. I am also strongly questioning all that was done and not done during my husbands illness. Whatever you all do ask questions and keep records, only you know how you feel and how your loved one feels do not take anything for granted that the doctors tell you. This pain for me will never go away, but I will be out there fighting for all who have this horrible disease. Love you all, Gloria

    Dear Sarah,
    I have a really hard time trying to cope and my oldest daughter lives next door and has been coming over to stay with me at night. During the day I have friends coming all the time. I pray daily to God to be able to accept this loss, I need closure, sofar I take one step forward and two steps back. I just received my husbands ashes and was hoping it would ease my pain some, but it did not. Thank for your kind and comforting words.Gloria
