I needed to hear that! @webfoot Paul i put on his cd player today and pushed play and he had this Church Chior Music on really loud and the first song was "HOW GREAT THOU ART"...It is a really Beautiful Song...I Love the Eagles..Thank you so much..xo
After reading the description... I hurt for you. Hang on.. hang tight.. make memories...you don't ever know how much you can actually withstand. My thoughts and prayers are with you on this sad journey...love the photo. So befitting...
@miss_kyles ..Thank you Miss Kyles..I appreciate your comment..i will be fine...its just tougher at night time when i am alone with him.... @cjwhite thank you so much Carolyn..I think we both just need some peace right now...I just had me a good cry and i feel much better!!
You're in my thoughts and prayers, Ellen. Whenever you feel too stressed go outside for a walk, take some photos, call someone ... whatever it takes. Are there hospice workers that can help you? Love your photo tonight .. your work is beautiful here. Very symbolic of what you are going through right now.
@karenann Thank you so much Karenann..I will be getting the Hospice Help tomorrow ..I had to do the whole weekend by myself as they could not get anyone here untill Monday...something to do with the fast discharge from the Hospital..but i do have my family during the day its just been the nights that are rough and they all depend on me because i am a Nurse (retired) but it is so much harder when it is your own family member...So Help is on the way!
@mstipe Thank you Michelle..Its during those little breaks i take my camera with me wherever i go...i even got Dad with his favorite Dog up on the Hospital Bed yesterday but I had chosen not to post it...As soon as i get off the 24 hour shift i will be fine!! :)
This is a beautiful photo! Hang in there, Ellen. I went through the same thing with my mom last year with my sisters and I taking shifts and it was hard. I will keep you in my thoughts.
@myautofocuslife Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment livia!!..I imagine you do know exactly how i feel and i am sorry for your loss ..its at these times we realize just how important family really is...
@gark Thanks Gark for those encouraging words...this too shall pass!...Im still hanging..i have alot of catching up to do ..and i appreciate how you have all supported me during this time...

You are in my thoughts:) i was in Spain last month to say the last goodbye to my father. Very sad but important to be with them:)
We had the same expericence, the first weeknd at home, with no help and all the fears and pain. It is impossible to explain the emotions, feelings that rip through at this time. Take care.

I cannot believe that you are still able to produce such lovely images though!

You can do this, pray hard and know you are not alone.
