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

Yesterday was sort of a train wreck, because my disease flared, and I was virtually useless to Mike. We both slept the entire day. Mike had been up until 5 am because he couldn't sleep. I was just a mess. All I had enough energy to do, was pour some cereal in a bowl, or warm up some Clam Chowder for Mike's dinner. Then I was back down again. That's the first time this has happened since Mike's been sick. I hated the helpless position it put me in. But....we're both doing better today.
Mike had labs done at the hospital this morning. I guess if anything is needing attention, they will call us. In the meantime, he's off treatment until next Tuesday.
One good piece of news is that we finally received a letter from CHIP today, saying Mike has been approved for insurance, effective May 1st. So now, we only need to wait for the information packet to come in the mail. My application is still waiting to be processed.
Thank you so much for your help, and your thoughts and prayers. I don't know where we would be without them. You have been such a blessing to us!
