Thank you for all the replies.
It's strange but we have not actually discussed what to do when he is not well enough to work. (I can see that niether of us wanted to go there)
This decline has happened so FAST. He kept assuring me that he was not planning on dying soon. Looks like reality has other ideas...
I am hoping that there will be the opportunity for one more conversation. Even if it is literally to say goodbye. I think I am wondering what if there is not the opportunity to see him one more time. He works from home ~ so I know where he lives. Do I call and make a time just to "chat"?? I'be be happy with 5 minutes. then again is that asking too much? Of him and his family?? He told his family that it was ok for them to tell me how he was doing when he went in for surgery. He didn't do that with everybody.
I want him to get better. I hate cancer. I know he is going to die and there is nothing I can do. the idea of finding somebody else is unthinkable at the moment. Like I'm saying he is already dead. He is my therapist. I am not sharing that with anybody else. Am I being precious?
