The only thing I can offer to you is that you have to be strong for her. She will need you standing by her shoulder whether physically or mentally. All of us here are with her as well.

Bill, I'm ever so glad for your father that he was spared having to spend a future that would have been hard to bear. Yes. Glad.
I'm also glad you shared this news and had a chance to express something of what's in your own heart and mind right now. Those closest can be too absorbed or sensitive in their own shock and grief at times. I know how hard and sad it must have been to make those calls and be the bearer of painful news while you're experiencing your own shock and grief. Duty. That particular, emotional tough calls that someone has to do. I had to make some calls about my sister to family yesterday when the nws came too, as my sister had to regroup, then tell her grown children the results,and be their mother. I really feel for you, because you and I just experienced something similar here. Your comments to me opened up a little of my own expressions I needed to do. I thank you for that. It helps. MLU is family.
Regards my sister ... yes ... her biggest place is with her children, grandchildren, and kids, and I'm available for when and how she needs my ears and support... things she can't express with her immediate family. I follow her cue. I've seen this wasting process before so ... this could be very hard on everyone. They don't know what to expect ... however ... I unfortunately do if this runs true to usual progression. I'm prepared better than the rest of the family if it does.
You're very welcome to email or private message me at any time Bill
Take care of yourself too.
Karmen
