I’m so very sorry you’re both having to go through this, that daily life is such a struggle. I can’t begin to imagine what this must be like, but I’m sure the reactions and emotions you’re both having are perfectly normal in the circumstances. And even if they’re not, what does it matter? This is your reality and your post is very sincere.

I’m sorry this comment is so late. It’s now 12 days after this post was made, I assume that Anja’s condition is constantly deteriorating. I hope life is at least partly bearable for you both, and that even through this hell there are some small moments that bring you joy. You’re so very right when you say that Anja doesn’t deserve this pain James – life can be such a torment.

[...] I’ve tormented for days, not wishing to intrude. In the end, beauty of the human spirit struck me as too rare a gift to ignore. Vincent Van Gogh said there is nothing more artistic than to love others. There is nothing more beautiful as well. Open your eyes and hearts to beauty, love, and dignity. James and Anja. [...]

Hi Kathie,

Thank you for your words. You don’t really know us and yet you say the words others cannot/ will not speak.

Right now, this moment, all Anja and I have are each other. The sad reality is that sometimes it all gets too hard to deal with and we can easily ‘snap’. Frustration, anger, despair and sheer inability to cope, all move in at different times and we feel our souls being eaten away.

If both of us could lay side by side now and take the ‘blue’ pill, and close our eyes never to wake again, we would not hesitate in this decision for too long.

Your posting does not sound like a complaint, nor does it sound selfish. It is honest. It is real. It is a terrible situation…for both of you.She certainly does not deserve this pain! It does not diminish your feelings for her by saying how difficult it is. I can honestly tell you, because I have been there, that you will look back on this and feel good that you gave your whole self to her. She will leave with you in her heart. I am with Anja with it comes to religion, but I do know I still feel the people I have loved around me. You will too. Both of you will get though this.

I don’t really know you, but in my own way I send my energy to you in thought.
