In 2007, I began my original website, Sonshine's Haven. In 2007, it was turned into a blog and used to keep family updated on my first husband's fight with liver cancer. He passed away November of 2009. We were married for 34+ wonderful years and this journals some of that grief process I've gone through.

I have since remarried another widower, but Mike is missed dearly, and will always be a big part of my life.

At times, all of us will be called to act as witnesses to the suffering of another. We will be unable to affect the outcome physically. Words will fail us. Prayer will seem futile. And yet, the act of bearing witness to someone else's trials is a sacred sorrow that offers and astounding glimpse of eternal joy." by Ginger Garrett

"Being willing to stay with a loved one throughout their travail, can be difficult....YES! But offering yourselves as faithful companions on a dark and dreadful journey can be an unmeasured blessing." (paraphrased by me)

Praying for a Better Day

Mike never made it back to work yesterday after lunch. A nap did not help. He was feeling "off"; very tired, and a little down. He went to bed early last evening.

Today is a new day though, and he woke up feeling better. My prayer is that our prayers will carry him through each day, one small step at a time.

"The world is half as heavy when two shoulder it together...and sometimes simply holding hands is holding on to everything."
