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)

Update:  She is still in ICU through tomorrow morning.  They will do bloodwork then, and decide if she can be placed into a regular room. She was tolerating ice chips well today, and there is hope she might be able to recover the swallowing issues and ability to talk.  We are trying to allow her to rest as much as possible, so we have kept company for her to a miniumum.  Thank you for your continued prayers.

I saw Mom McSheehy this morning in ICU.  She was resting peacefully so I didn't wake her.  Her vitals looked good, but the nurses were very busy, so I didn't get an update.  I'm hoping she will be moved out of ICU today so that Jill, Zac and Drew could have an opportunity to see her.

Thank you for your prayers.

We've been praying for Mrs. McSheehy! I hope she is improving daily. Thinking of you all, let us know if we can do anything!
