Deborah’s Story

Site created on May 24, 2023

Welcome to  my  CaringBridge website. I am using it to keep family and friends updated about my health condition regarding the stage four lung cancer I find myself immersed in. It has become unmanageable to contact everyone individually and although I welcome calls, texts and emails,  I may not be able to get back to you right away.  I will be using the Journal entry for periodic updates.  Love, Deborah

Journal entry by Sally Adelman

Deborah is nearing the end of her journey.  She is still very much herself but realizes that her body is growing weaker and weaker and her mind is not tracking as well.  Deborah is not in a lot of pain and has been able to enjoy the beautiful spring days we've had and lay in her magnificent bedroom surrounded by the view of her garden outside and by her many fabulous mementos of a richly lived life.  She is greatly appreciating all of your support which has been amazing.  However, she is drawing more inward as the journey progresses and has less and less energy to communicate.  So the time to visit and talk on the phone has ended.  Short text messages or emails without expectation of a response would be lovely.  And we do still need your physical support on the schedule but your time may be mostly sitting, so give her space for rest and peace just helping as needed.  I know this is a hard request as our time together is so precious.  Hold her in your hearts and she'll know.
