I lost my mom 3 years ago to pancreatic cancer. My parents were married for 56 years and my dad is lost without her. Gradually over time the good memories replace the terrible memories of when she was so, so sick and dying.
When you are taking care of someone who is so sick your life seems to revolve around doctor appointments, hospital visits etc. When they are gone it feels like your world stopped but everyone else continues on. PLEASE continue to come here to post or just "lurk". You have so much to offer all of us.
Keeping you in my prayers as you travel this difficult road. Praying for brighter, happy memories to replace your sadness. Hugs, Wanda
