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)

The last few days have been a little harder on me than usual.  I don't think I'm able to put into words exactly what I'm dealing with, but I particularly, need extra prayer for energy, less confusion, and emotional stability.  I have a tendency to try and come across as handling things well, but to be perfectly honest, I'm struggling.  My Rheumatologist changed some of my medications around last week and I'm not sleeping very well.  Your prayers and understanding mean so much to me.

Mike is doing well.  We have an appointment next Tuesday at the hospital for further testing on Mike's swallowing issue and we have made contact with the speech therapist.  Mike will be seeing her following the results of next weeks appointment.

Thank you for caring about us and praying us through all of this.
