Thank you for taking the time to consider these people in your thoughts and prayers. There is no further news apart from the man now being in the hospice. Some of his co-volunteer workers have been in to see him and does appear he doesn't have much time left. No further word on how his wife is doing but I will be following up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-work#post-765064 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:25:15 +0000 rachylou 765064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be praying.

I do believe there is power in holding people in our hearts and wishing them the best so your prayers and thoughts for this couple are just so appreciated.</p> <p>Angie, that's just what I did last night. DH had a meeting but Master 9 and I snuggled up on the couch (thankfully he is young enough to still enjoy a cuddle with mum):)</p> <p>Suz, my colleague is actually on holidays overseas at the moment, so while she is aware of the volunteer's illness she is not aware of the update so to speak. I know its going to be a terrible shock when she gets back. She has known this man longer than I have and he volunteers in one of the programs she manages.</p> <p>Sending you all a huge hug xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-work#post-762383 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 23:26:22 +0000 Suz 762383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, such sad news.

I know .Times like this I wonder how life gets this complicated:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-news-work#post-761817 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 08:03:18 +0000 Deborah 761817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>I received some awful news today at work and I wonder if I might unload on you?</p> <p>A couple of weeks back one of our long standing and dedicated volunteers was diagnosed with advanced cancer. Apparently it's everywhere and treatment is not an option. </p> <p>Today we were told that on Friday he is being moved into the hospice to receive palliative care. But that's not all, two days ago his wife tried to take her own life in a particularly horrible fashion. She is in hospital two hours away having had life saving surger and her hubby has only just been told what has happened. </p> <p>The couple don't have children, and there is estrangement in the wife's family and it seems she feels she can't face life without her hubby.</p> <p> I'm still feeling somewhat shocked and incredibly saddened by this and find it weighing heavily on my mind.</p> <p>Could I ask you to keep this couple in your thoughts, prayers or whatever you do in situations like this. The road ahead is not going to be easy and the wife is going to need a huge amount of support and care.</p> <p>Thank you for being here.<br /> xxxDeborah </p>
