Even though my husband is technically not dead, he is only unconscious since January 9 when he went into cardiac arrest due to pneumonia, I know about the loneliness. There is simply no other adult to talk to and it's worst at night when I can't call anyone either. There are so often bits of news or the children's milestones that I'd love to share with him. As much as I'm surrounded by family and friends, ultimately the loneliness is still there.
