The Blog

Some days when I'm not feeling so good and other days when I just have the need, I review the blog of our "Life & Times" from May, 2009, including the:

--shock to us of Barb's diagnosis;

--ups & downs from her Chemo treatments;

--celebrating our life events in the hospital, ie, birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, Gwen's birth and precious time with family and friends;

--crushing news that the only option left was Hospice;

--making every day count in Hospice;

--Barb's passing, which is in my mind minute-by-minute;

--couping without her since then.

Barb's clothes are still in her closet, and I'm just getting more comfortable doing something with her car. The other day I went through Barb's hundreds of emails of well wishes and prayers. Neither of us could have imagined the pain and loneliness of going through this experience alone. Recently, it has been a bit easier for me to talk about it.

Meanwhile, of course, life goes on.
