My heart is with you. So sorry to read of Matt's passing but relieved as well that both of you will not have to suffer anymore with the unknown journey and all the different kinds of pains this disease brought to him, you and your family. He is at peace, you probably will be lonely and exhausted both physically and emotionally these next months but know you did everything possible for Matt in his final journey, one all of us will take someday. Time marches on and no one can stop it no matter how much we want to. I will be thinking of you in these next weeks and beyond - let us know how you are doing. Love Karen
