Oh my God, that's, awful! Poor Pat, I can't even imagine....
A couple hours ago on a shotgun thread I asked him a question, I hadn't seen this thread yet.

If you see this Pat, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Pat,

I am so sorry to hear about this extremely difficult time.

Know this. You have many friends, even though many are folks you have not seen in years or are just folks you simply talk to via the net.

Also, something to consider.

Caregiver Fatigue is no doubt setting in hard about now. DO NOT feel guilty. There is no doubt that you are losing sleep every night, are exhausted, and it is taking both a physical and emotional toll that only you can know, though I am sure there are a good number here that have been down the same path.

From bathroom duties to meals, to end of life decisions, all of it wears a person down.

The emotional toll all of it takes is substantial, and just know this, you can come here and vent if needed, either on a side channel or in this thread. We are here.

This is a quite unique place and we will listen.

I too support you in this time. Your reviews, wisdom, and experience are a welcome addition here (and to the rest of the shooting world).

I can only really speak for myself, but I suspect I probably speak for many here on PF in saying if you need something, please ask and we're happy to help.

Spoken like a man who knows, and I am sorry for you having gained that knowledge.

Pat,

I will keep you, your wife and your family in my prayers. Cancer takes a toll on the caregiver, as you are well aware. We have never met, but we have walked in the same shoes. Please let me know if I can ever be of help.

You have friends here, including those you have never met.

My dad died when I was in my early 20s from cancer and I wanted to make sure he felt love and support especially at the end. I can relate, and at the same time I know how much deeper this scar will be. I don’t know you Pat, but this thread, and your Instagram post exemplify your values and your dedication to family and love. I’m so sorry for what you are going through. You have my deep respect and condolences.

I hope the fact that you were there for her is of some comfort to you. I'm positive it meant the world to her.

As someone who became a widower 9months ago, I can tell you that the passage of time does help, but that it is not linear. Bad days pop up unexpectedly after good days. Time passing does skew the ratio of good days to bad days in a more favorable direction though.

Go easy on yourself. Try to get some sleep. Force yourself to eat well. You'll need your strength.

Reach out if you want to.

+1. I lost my wife of 36 years about 2-1/2 years ago. It does get better. All the care you showed to your wife now needs to be directed to yourself. You have a lot of work to do in the next few weeks, and you need to be as healthy as you can be.

If you want to reach out, please feel free to PM me.

I am so sorry.

I am never good at words at times like these, so I usually turn to prayers from others. I found a Native American one that I would like to offer.

A Native American Prayer for the Grieving

I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still – I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint in snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

Do not think of me as gone,
I am with you still in each new dawn.

Just realized you're posting again. So glad.

This has been a terrible month for my work "family," with both older and tragically young family members of employees passing.

It's a time of year to love the ones you're with, remember the ones who are gone, and be grateful for the chance to experience all the joy they bring.
