Time for a quick update. A friend I met at the local ALS overnights I used to attend for caregivers, lost is wife this past week. She finally gained her angel wings after 14 years. She was never vented. I drove the 2 hours to attend the viewing to support my friend. As you all can imagine, he was thrilled I was there. I was so very sad for him as I know the confused feelings of relief and pain and what he is about to go through now.
I the way home I was speaking with a mutual friend from those overnights who lost his wife in Sept. She had chosen to quit eating and drinking and ended her own battle. He was unable to attend this viewing as he is currently down with COVID. He too is struggling, thinking of things he said while going through the battle. I tried to assure him the his wife understood and knew how much he loved her.
It was quite the emotional weekend, and it will be capped with what would have been our anniversary coming on Wed. (37 years).
I hope Everyone has the best Valentine‘s day possible as you remember your loved ones.
Hugs
