Both my parents died of cancer. My mother in her 40's and my dad just after his 80th birthday two years ago. Thank goodness they had caregivers to help out. My life was an emotional rollercoaster and wrapped up in my own challenges. What I can add is the need to prepare in advance. The living spouse needs support putting life back in order which is a challenge in itself. If anyone wants to hear my thoughts about this aspect, please let me know. I also wrote a book viewed on http://www.eldercareconcierge.net. Practicing what I preace to others is an interesting challenge. Good luck in the book and hope others can really help out. Sounds well worth the effort.
