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)

Something hasn't been quite right with Mike the last couple of days. He can't eat or drink because he feels constantly full and his midsection seems swollen. I tried to persuade Mike to go to the emergency room this morning, because of how his midsection looked, and because he was up all night not feeling well. Mike had a class he had signed up for and didn't want to miss it. He struggled through the day, drinking only one Ensure for the entire day, and a half of a sandwich. Nothing more. He came home at 3:30 and went to sleep until 8:30 this evening. Still nothing more to eat or drink.

I would like nothing more than to be worrying about nothing, and be wrong. I would appreciate your prayers for Mike to improve overnight, or to agree to have things checked out in the morning. Thank you so much for your prayers.
