Marlene, I think about you and Alan often. I wish there were comforting words to say that would make things easier...I'm not sure there are any of those words left to say.
You have to do what it right for you, and for Alan. I think Petey is right about the hospice, however that is a highly personal and individual decision. I would love to talk to you, of course that's up to you. If you like, send me a PM and I'll pass along my number
