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)

A New "Normal"

Mike has had a fairly quiet week. With his new "normal" of energy, he has been able to work a couple of hours each day. When he is home, he mostly naps or rests. This past treatment (3/20) seems to have been kinder to Mike symptom-wise, giving him extra days between treatments to feel better, for which we are so grateful.

Anxiety and impatience are probably Mike's largest personal prayer needs this week. I've seen a little frustration from him, wondering how he's ever going to be able to return to "normal" life, with the limited amount of energy he has now on a "good" day. Please be praying Mike will just rest in feeling better and continue trusting God for tomorrow.

Next treatment: Thursday, April10th

"Father, I pray that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which You have called me, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints and Your incomparably great power for us who believe!" Ephesians 1:18-19
