    So sorry...
    I am so sorry for your loss. I know that being a caregiver is a life consuming job and I understand the emptiness you feel. There are so many wonderful people on these boards who I'm sure will be along to offer words of encouragement and support. Have you looked into any support groups in your area? That may be a good place for you to connect with others who are feeling the same way that you do.

    Prayers will be going out to you,
    Keely
