It's been four weeks since I last checked in here and just over two weeks since Douglas died. I'm doing remarkably well, all things considered.
Douglas and I had a good chat the day he died and told each other how much we loved each other; it's such a relief that we got to do that. I've continued to see the counselor and he's been very helpful. There were lots of family members in town for a few days, mostly staying elsewhere, and my youngest daughter, who is 31, stayed for almost two weeks which was very good for us both. Friends and neighbors are checking up on me and I'm planning to get back into some of my old activities.
I had expected to be a CALS for at least a couple more years, but now I'm finding it very hard to read the forums again and can't believe I was in the middle of all those problems so recently. My hear
t goes out to all of you wonderful people.
