Hello,
in the early hours of today I thought I knew what to do.
Tony was finding it difficult to eat.
I opened different pouches for him and I think he had a little bit from each.
I got him cheese and ham and he ate some.
I gave him some milk and he drank quite a bit of that.
He still wanted more food, so I tried oxtail soup then a little bit of tinned minced beef.
He ate some, so I warmed up the mince with a little bit of oxtail soup and he had some of that. He really seemed to like that
It wasn’t very emotional as he was finding it difficult to eat but wanted food.
He kept on looking up at me as if to say ‘You can find me something I can eat.’
So I thought that this might well be the sign that the time had come.
As he was also unsettled.
I then came up to bed and brought him with me.
Lately he has had short cuddles,
He actually stayed with me for four hours, cuddling me and sleeping some of the time.
He appeared calm and relaxed.
He even started grooming himself.
That surprised me as he had been having difficulty with his food.
So I don’t know what to do.
The difference between Tony eating and Tony later on in bed is huge.
I am totally confused and worrying about what to do.
I am in tears.
I don’t want him to suffer but I don’t want to rob him of the precious moments of love and comfort he so enjoys. Yes they are precious to me as well but how can I deny him love?
He has shown me so much love, how can I deny him the same.
He still wants to live.
How can I deny him a life?
Even one with difficulties but also with love and comfort.
Truthfully and bluntly, I feel guilty that I will take a life away from a family member who found such joy and adventures in life.
I feel I am killing him and I don’t have the right.
Any thought or advice?

Oh Rose
I really wish I could help
If Tony’s not in pain then maybe just showering him with love for a bit longer will be the right thing for both of you
Here for you

Good morning! Another bad day … people seem to think I no longer need help and should be ‘moving on’ - what on earth does that mean?!! Sorry - feeling sorry for myself …
Rose, a hug to you and a cuddle to Tony. Must admit I wish I had a Tony at the moment!

Sorry it is a bad day Hazel, please don’t apologise for saying how you feel. I hate it when I get asked if I have adjusted to my new life, it is only 3 months since the light went out of my life. I hope the swamp doesn’t get too tight a grip on you today. Sending you love and strength to get through.
