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)

Not Just Physical

Cancer can be more than just a physical battle, and today has been one of those days for Mike, and subsequently for me. Some times all you need is just a break, instead of everything hitting you at once. In good health, you cope better, you can keep things in perspective. But in times when you're already stessed, it can kick you off your feet. It's just hard to find your way navigating through so many changes...and having so much uncertainity.

Please pray that Mike will be strengthened with God's peace and comfort. And please pray that I will know the best ways to encourage or lift his heart.
