I don't know what to do, say or be around Deb and Keith at the moment. Leon is dying, bluntly. The doctors expected his kidneys to fail over night and they were 'hoping' that the 5 litres of fluid they pumped in would hold him until they recovered. If they do.
I don't know what to do. It is just such an awful situation. Deb is running herself ragged all day, every day, and Keith is carrying on working (he is a therapist, can you imagine trying to counsel others when your son is dying in the next room?). All I can come up with is being as helpful as possible, doing housework and cooking meals etc. But I feel like I'm in the way, intruding.
It is so bitterly sad. And words just don't seem to cut it at times like this. I wish I knew what to do. But I suspect it's one of those situations where there is nothing I can do to make it better. It's a case of working out what not to do, to avoid making things worse.
:(
It feels like there should be more to say on this, really. But frankly, there's not. Leon's dying. Deb and Keith are grief striken and it will only get harder. And I wish I could do something to make it easier, but I can't.
This situation sucks.
:(
I don't know what to say. When my little sis had cancer we spent a lot of time in hospital, but I was only little at the time. A lot of the other kids who were in with her at the same time died. Mostly people just want to know that you are there for them. I think the only thing you really can do is what you already are doing, trying to make mudane things less of a problem. Also I would recommend spending as much time with Leon as possible.
Posted by: Giffy at July 1, 2004 01:15 PMHey hun, hugs, I know unfortunately the situation you are in all too well. :( All you can do dear is be there for them. I am so sad for them, I know too many who have passed of cancer and some that are still fighting it. Some young, some older, some inbetween, most were my family members and good friends. :( its so hard and so very devistating. You know I think its time to cherish the time that we have with each another before our time is up, as we never know whence that will be. Please take care hun, I am thinkin of you all hugssssssssss would love to hear from you dear, missing you lots, luv Trac
