any 'care-givers' out there?
Question:
Answers:
I am so sorry to hear that your husband has cancer.My daughter is a nurse at Hospice and they have all kinds of support,like clergy and someone to come to your house while you get away for an hour or someone to talk to.Also a church's pastor and congregation,family,and most of all God.This is probably the hardest thing to go through with someone you love,but be there for him,hold him,pray for him.He's probably terrified and needs you more than anything right now.
Other Answers:
Try and listen first. Then think, do not dwell on the cancer, keep motivated if physically possible. Talk, ask questions, listen some more. Be there, yet allow alone time for him. Do not hover, try and stay motivated yourself. Realize you can not always stay happy looking. Sad is okay too, it is necessary for both of you. Try and stay in the normal parameters as long as possible, yet venture off the norm if you come to that path. Cancer has no certain rules. It is a day to day thing. Ask for help from friends and family if you need it. Some people go to groups for help, others stay private with just friends. Remember your friends are uncomfortable about cancer also. Talk to them educate them about what is happening. It is so much more comfortable to speak of it than the oppressing silence that people feel they need to have. Mostly for fear of "being to nosy" or "not knowing what to say or do". I hope some of this helps!
