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)

No Word Still...............

Dear Family and Friends,

Mike and I haven't heard very much about the results from last Friday's test on Mike.  We were told today, there has been no report put in Mike's file, in the oncology office.  Mike called and left a message for the oncologist to contact us, but we never were called back this evening.  So unfortunately, this leaves us waiting some more.  When we hear anything, we will update you.

Other than this, Mike is doing well.  I made his favorite meal this evening.....roast beef, mashed potatoes, and gravy, but...he couldn't enjoy it.  Every bite kept getting caught in his throat.  The only thing that helped, was drinking milk with the meal, and that quickly filled him up.  It has been a little frustrating.  But on the positive side of things.....Mike has been snacking often, and I'm hoping that will add some pounds to him.  It sure works well for me! ;)

Thank you for your continued love and support,
Beverly
