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)

5.02.2009

It has been a peaceful day. The rain kept us home and inside. Mike actually slept most of the day. His body must need the extra rest right now. While Mike slept, I was able to complete all the paperwork on me, needed to apply for the CHIP insurance (Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool). I'm guessing it will take a couple of weeks to find out if I'll be accepted. If that doesn't go through, I'm sure God will open another door.

Mike is already in the process of being approved. We had completed his paperwork two weeks ago. We had to wait and completely exhaust our COBRA insurance before we could officially apply. We double-checked with CHIP on Friday, to be sure everything we're spending from last Friday forward, towards Mike's present health needs, will be retroactive and covered.

We'll have labs done first thing Tuesday morning, and hopefully everything will go as expected, and Mike will begin his new treatment.

We appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers.

"For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Isaiah 41:13
