Prayers and thoughts needed.

[Sarojaede]

Please send positive energy towards my son. He has really taken this tragedy to heart. I can see it when I look in his eyes.

Done, BG.

And a big hug for you too, hun.

Consider it done.

 

[EJFan]

my thoughts are with your son and the rest of your family bg... always.

 

[bobsgirl]

Thank you all. I realize this is something he'll have to make his way through himself, but I wish I could carry the burden for him.

he'll be ok bg. it's certainly not a pleasant situation but it's part of life (the saddest part)... i'm confident he'll get through it in his own time & way.

One of my former students--whom everyone calls Cavey--from several years ago and whom I now consider a friend got married 6 months ago. Three weeks before his wedding, his finance, now wife, was diagnosed with cancer--Leiomyosarcoma.

He contacted me tonight to tell me that the cancer has progressed to her lungs and she is now hospitalized and on her third type of chemotheraphy. The odds are apparently not in her favor except that the doctor is encouraged that she isn't getting sicker now that they have started this third type of chemotheraphy.

Apparently, Leiomyosarcoma is also a cancer that typically attacks the elderly, so the doctors are also somewhat encouraged that she is relatively young--33.

I'm just at a loss at the moment for how to even offer him comfort.

Man that just sucks big time.
SJ, from what I've seen of you here just be a friend, when the proverbial hits the fan it's nice to have friends you can rely on and be with, sometimes there are no words, but a caring soul by your side can make all the difference.

Words from a grateful man who has discovered more friends than he ever thought possible. My thoughts are with them.

 

[Sarojaede]

Thanks, Quoll. I appreciate that.

I was just sat there stunned for a minute or three. It took me a minute or two to even collect my thoughts because I just hurt so much for him.

 

[silverwhisper]

SJ, i'm so sorry to hear that.

Will definitely keep Cavey and his wife in my prayers.

Sometimes, there are no words to say, all you can do is be a shoulder to lean or cry on.... to all....

My prayers will be with Cavey and his wife also, understand about what he's going through, also cancer survivor here n active again for the 3rd time around, mine is minor though n non cancerous.
Have to agree with Leah57, He'll need support from a close friend, for a shoulder, or just someone to talk with, my prayers are with you too, ya sound like a good friend, no one likes being alone during these times especially caregivers, they also need support!

 

[wicked woman]

Thanks, Quoll. I appreciate that.

So sorry to hear that SJ. quoll's right though...sometimes you don't need to say a thing...just hold him tight...and let him feel comfortable enough to do what he needs to do. He obviously thinks enough of your friendship to have sought you out. Let him guide you since we all deal with loss in a different way.

 

[midwestyankee]

SJ, I'm without words here. From everything I know of you, you're going to be a truly comforting friend. We need lovers and friends in this world or we perish from undernourishment of the soul. It's good for your student that you're his friend.

SJ, my heart goes out to them. And to you. Sometimes a listening ear is the best thing we can offer, and I know you will do that. I wish them well.

[Sarojaede]

Thanks everyone. I know that all I can really do is lend an ear or a shoulder; sometimes it seems such a little thing to do that it's frustrating.

What amazes me the most is that in the middle of talking about his pain and fear of losing his wife last night, this former student gave me the best damn compliment that a student ever has. Hmmm...that's going in the WFS thread later.

You're all in my thoughts.

 

[EJFan]

very sad news, SJ... you'll all be in my thoughts.

I may be new here, and not know you yet - but this couple is definitely in my prayers.
