Day Five and it's been a whirlwind.
I was strong through most of Sunday. We started with just our four children and I, and the nursing and hospice staff, in the room when I removed Matt's vent. Two hours later I opened the room to his father and siblings. If anyone wants the details of how things go, please PM me. I just can't do it here.
I miss him terribly, but I'm at peace. I know it was time and I feel like he is free. I'm already starting to remember the strong man I married, rather than what ALS did to him. I've found that being around people he knew before is helping with that.
Matt wanted a viewing and visitation followed by a service in the church he grew up in, so Friday night and Saturday we will welcome friends and family.
Our kids have been rocks. I'm so fortunate. My brain can handle only one thing at a time right now, and each new thing takes awhile to bubble it's way past the numbness and into the light.
