It must be so hard on you, wanting to do the best thing for Beth and yet trying to follow her wishes.<BR/><BR/>If I e-mail Beth, I don't want her to feel that she needs to reply. I just want her to know that I care & am thinking of her.<BR/><BR/>I hope things are better today for both of you.<BR/><BR/>SharonSharonMVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171770849362460222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-65929590734794052112009-02-21T04:53:00.000-08:002009-02-21T04:53:00.000-08:00Anything I can do, please let me know.

You and Beth are both immensely courageous to be sharing your feelings with all of us (and with many who, sadly, are the opposite of supportive.) <BR/><BR/>Beth's not the only one who's got guts, you have too, sister.<BR/>Love & peace.Kate Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788180717656252691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-15508221103895282092009-02-20T23:05:00.000-08:002009-02-20T23:05:00.000-08:00I am sorry, seems lame to say that.

It's good of you to explain, but you shouldn't have to. <BR/><BR/>I don't meen this in a touchy way, I just want to know so I can do the "best" thing. Can I send Elizabeth emails monday to thursday, or is it causing her more stress? Because if it's stressful I won't do it.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you to will have a good "you two" day, I agree with some of the others, your love for eachother is amazing. <BR/><BR/>Take care and please be as scared, frustrated, angry or anything on your blog, that's what blogs are for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-67180890932040211642009-02-20T18:50:00.000-08:002009-02-20T18:50:00.000-08:00Hello other beautiful person.

We're here for you, Linda. Do whatever you need to do to stay alive and sane for Elizabeth.<BR/><BR/>You're not bad for being scared; you're human. You're going through the worst part of being married: losing your spouse. And you shouldn't have to be going through this stage for 35 or more years yet. I dearly wish that you and Beth didn't have to go through this now.<BR/><BR/>But if it's Beth's turn to fly, your being there is helping her. Hold her hand, comfort her, then scream in terro to us if you have to.<BR/><BR/>I'm here for you AND Cheryl as well as Elizabeth.<BR/><BR/>Love and hugs,<BR/>NeilNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749163161371187138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-46194696407071283692009-02-20T13:16:00.000-08:002009-02-20T13:16:00.000-08:00Don't waste time being sorry -- you're in a scary ...Don't waste time being sorry -- you're in a scary situation.

Whatever helps!<BR/><BR/>The things that are frustrating you are also part of the reason you love Elizabeth so much. <BR/><BR/>Must be so hard to keep a straight head and I don't think anyone expects you to be some kind of wonderwoman! So difficult to know the best things to do and both of you are having to react, and feel your way.

You're dealing with hard, terrifying things, watching someone you love get worse, and there's not much you can do. You are in a very hard place to be.<BR/><BR/>I know the words don't mean a lot, but if there's something we can do, tell us. I sent 5 books for you today, all from OR or WA, so hopefully they'll be there by next Friday.<BR/><BR/>I hope you find time to scream into a pillow or something, that you get a chance to let it loose a bit. I'm sending you lots of good wishes.wendrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997119641497745602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-34333307748302255302009-02-19T18:05:00.000-08:002009-02-19T18:05:00.000-08:00I didn't read your post, but I can only imagine ho...I didn't read your post, but I can only imagine how terrified you have to be.
