Linda, I have been away and off of the boards for two weeks and was so, so sad to read about Carol's passing. I have followed your journey and Carol went through so much and fought the good fight. Some people spend there entire life and never find the love you two shared. You were both lucky to have each other and Carol couldn't have had a better or more loving caregiver. I pray for brighter days for you and that the good memories will in time replace the last few awful months. Life is not about how we die but how we live. Give yourself time and be kind to yourself. Continued prayers for you during this difficult time. Hugs.
