Jai has gone on Web sites for cancer patients and their families. She finds useful information there, but she can't stay on too long. "So many of the entries begin: 'Bob's fight is over.' 'Jim's fight is over.' I don't think it's helpful to keep reading all of that," she says. However, one entry she came upon moved her into action. It was written by a woman whose husband had pancreatic cancer. They planned to take a family vacation but postponed it. He died before they could reschedule. "Go on those trips you've always wanted to take," the woman advised other caregivers. "Live in the moment." Jai vows to keep doing just that. Jai has gotten to know people locally who are also caregivers of spouses with terminal illnesses, and she finds it helpful to talk to them. If she needs to complain about me, or to vent about the pressure she's under, these conversations have been a good outlet for her.
