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)

Mike got up late yesterday afternoon, still feeling tired and wanting to fall back to sleep. He forced himself to stay up though, and only had the appetite for tomato soup....not quite the Easter dinner we usually have.

Today he went to physical therapy briefly, but came home early, and has gone back to bed. I don't quite know what to make of all of this. There is no fever...no visual symptoms. He's just tired. So I sit, and wait for him to wake up, trying not to let my fears get the best of me.
