I'm so sorry. I'm glad that he was able to be home as you both wished. I wish you peace and comfort during this transition period. Your strength and grace through his illness and passing has been amazing.

I am so sorry for your loss, Athena. Praying for peace for you as the next few days and weeks come, especially the holidays. My offer stands - if you don't feel up to getting out and need someone to run errands for you, I am very happy to.

My offer stands - if you don't feel up to getting out and need someone to run errands for you, I am very happy to. Sam- thanks for your offer. Ironically I now have much more time to go out and do things, and so far I enjoy getting out. As DH got weaker I had to be very careful about leaving him alone. It was OK if he was settled someplace and not likely to move, but if he did get up there was always the risk of a fall, which happened even when I was around. I started getting people from an agency the last week if I was doing anything other than a short errand. Last night I decided I didn't feel like making anything and went out and got a salad from Panera. It felt like a luxury. |

I am so sorry for your loss. Thanks, Icelandic Woman (and everyone else)! I wanted to let you know that the picture in DH's on-line obituary shows him at the visitor's station in Geysir, enjoying a can of Gull beer.  |
