[@ChrisLoganToronto]

You are at 3.5k subs, that is going to grow exponentially as you continue. You need to continue, there was a remarkable change in your delivery when you switched from talking about your wife, to talking about the shop and your plans. You need workshop therapy to help you through tough times. You are carrying a tremendous burden of worry and sorrow and fear right now. Everyone says talking about your problems helps. Well I for one have a hard time doing that but maybe alone in my workshop talking to strangers through a camera lens might be easier. I don't know, have not tried it.
I'm here no matter how long between videos. Even if you just push boxes around and talk.
Having been through only a couple day scare in a similar circumstance I can empathize with your feelings. It is a tremendous blow. We are all here for you.

[@21stcenturycaveman33]

Hiya Dave. It's a case of priorities buddy. Spending quality time with your wife and family and supporting them at such a difficult time is far more important than banging out vids at the moment mate. Thinking of you and yours Dave. THinking of you all, Des & Tina

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Thanks mate

just subbed you Dave on the back of your box finger video, shocking to see you video tbh, myself having recently being diagnosed with a type of bone marrow cancer myself, and having to ring my son in America and tell him & his wife the news,luckily for me my son is moving back from the states with his wife & my grandson early next year, and while i have a raised risk of strokes/heart attack my long term prognosis is good, sorry to heat about your wife , like many have commented take all the time you need your wife and family are first, i have you back videos to watch in the meantime, be strong

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Hey Dave. I'm new to your channel and have been following your other channel as well. I can't imagine how difficult this all is for you and my thoughts are with you. As for your channel, please keep up with it as you can. It is totally understandable for your posts to be sporadic due to the situation with your wife. You, your wife and your family come first.

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Thanks mate appreciate it

[@lukek4516]

I have been a long time viewer of your channel. So sorry to hear your desperately sad news and well done for bravely sharing what you have been going through on the channel. Do you have a pattern page or channel membership that I could use to help support you going forward?

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Thanks mate your views are very much appreciated. I don't have a patreon account but I am thinking of adding the join button although I can't really offer anything in return such as extra content. I do have superchats enabled but youtube do take a percentage. I have a PayPal link in the video description where people can donate. I will look into channel membership

[@trevorb1239]

So sorry to hear that mate, your face shows how upsetting it All is,my wife lost her mother under similar circumstances so we know what you are going through, we will always continue watching your channel , look after your family, take care Dave I'm praying for your wife, family and you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Cheers mate appreciate it

[@AMG63]

Hi mate, been thinking about you and the family today so thought I would drop you a message and ask how things are 👍 hoping everything is ok.

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Had a rough couple of weeks. Around 2.5 weeks ago my wife had 10 seizures over 2.5hrs. We were told by paramedics that they were basically keeping her alive & we needed to make a decision whether they should continue helping her or stop & just make her comfortable. As her wishes were to die at home we told them to stop. She's a bloody fighter & refused to give in. We have the hospice at home care set up so now have hospital bed in the living room & carers & nurses coming in everyday. First 48hrs she showed no signs of coming around so we thought it was the end but as the days went by she's got better & is now able to walk from the bed to the toilet, she can talk & is aware but the memory is not so good. She gets very confused & comes out with random things that no-one understands. I'm basically her full-time carer. Cooking, cleaning, washing, online grocery shopping,, sorting out all her medication & making sure she takes it etc etc. I havnt left her side since it happened hence why no videos. Over the moon she's still here but she's not the woman I married if that makes sense. Obviously I love her but there's a part of her missing which is so sad. Thanks for taking the time to check in I appreciate it. I will do an update video on my other channel if & when I get chance.
