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)

Not the Greatest

This last treatment seems to be hitting Mike a little harder. Saturday and Sunday he has tired easily, and he has been achy enough to want pain medication. On the positive side, he has been able to enjoy some music he hasn't listened to for a while, and the weather has been pleasant enough to let him do that while sitting on the porch. So we're hoping this next week will be better and he'll begin to find his energy again.

Day Three

It's been the third day since treatment and the only side effect slowing Mike down today is just a general feeling of being tired. All day he has labored trying to do much of anything. So we have just tried to take it easy today and do things as we can.

"Happy are the people whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage." Psalm 84:5
