I’m so sorry for your loss. Richard is in a happier place now and all the pain and suffering is over for him.
Please take good care of yourself. I lost my husband to oral cancer too, and when he passed, there were a couple of years when I felt I had PTSD. The caregiver’s role is not at all easy. I’m keeping you in my thoughts.
