[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry. My husband died several years ago of an aggressive leukemia and it was such a difficult time. - we took one bucket trip while he was still feeling good. - we spent time at our cabin - we spent a lot of time with our grandkids while he was feeling ok. They are exhausting but the energy and life was a welcome relief - we discussed all the things he worried about (money, our youngest son's job situation, etc). Going through all the numbers and talking stuff out was helpful for him as he prepared to leave Things can change quickly at the end, so I would try to keep that in mind. We held an early birthday party when it was unclear how long he would live. At some point, he couldn't tolerate visitors any more and we had to turn friends away who thought they had more time to say goodbye. I think we did a pretty good job overall, but the last days were not good days for reminiscing, visiting, or making arrangements. Hugs to you and your mom.[/quote]
