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 ended up coughing and throwing up his breakfast, but he quickly told me he drank a Boost shake to make up for whatever he lost. This cough continues to linger, but it appears to only be upper chest congestion. It can get real annoying at night when Mike's trying to lay down at night to sleep. Then it keeps both of us awake.
I bought Mike a memory foam pillow yesterday to see if it would help with his bedsores. I was hoping it would allieviate some of the pressure he is experiencing on those open wounds. I'm not sure it is doing the trick of taking all the pain away, but I think it is helping. The Home Health nurse told us yesterday that she has seen some patients with these sores so deep she could see bone. That quickly creeped Mike and I out. We hope we never experience this pain to that degree. I guess that goes to show; things can always be worse.
I'm real tired this evening so I'm going to keep this short. Thank you for continuing to remember us in your thoughts and prayers.
