    Very sorry
    Debbie, I am so very sorry for your loss. I apologize for missing your post as I had not been on line much with Mike taking a turn for the worse. I would imagine that his Birthday was a really tough day for you. My heart goes out to you.
    It sounds like I will be following you closely down this path of "what happens next" with respect to the feelings to be experienced. I do have all of my family close by (my Mom and 5 siblings on my side who all get along great, no siblings on Mike's side) and an amazing group of good friends; the tough thing for me will be to lean on them. I hope you also have a good support network. Take care and please keep in touch. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Glad to hear you have family close by. Mine all live about 4 hours away but my church family and friends are great. There have been several who have told me I am welcome to call them even if it's in the middle of the night....and they mean it.
    I also have 3 kids still at home (well, one is in college). My husband and I had been married as long as you but we waited a long time before starting a family. So, in addition to dealing with my own grief, I'm trying to make sure that the kids are handling things OK too.
    I had to make my first call for help in the "household repair" department the other night. I knew that there would be things that came up that I didn't know anything about because Ken handled them but I didn't think it would be so soon. It was a fairly simple problem with the garbage disposal but I didn't know what to do or what tool to use. Next door neighbor came over and not only fixed it but trained me so I could handle it next time. guess there will be a lot of those in the coming months.
    Send me a PM if you ever need to talk.
    Debbie

    same story
    My husband is currently fighting stomach cancer. He is only 38 years old. I can totally feel your pain as I feel his life dwindling away. He has had 2 types of chemo both with no avail. Now they have a third type but he is underweight. It has now moved to the esophagus. Also mets to liver, bone, and abdominal lining. I feel I will be in your shoes shortly and am dreading every moment of it. Watching them suffer is the worse part of it all. My husband used to love to eat and now he really hates it. Just know that he is in a happy place and is not suffering anymore. Stomach cancer is a beast that I don't wish upon anyone.

    Jenene, I am so sorry that
    Jenene, I am so sorry that you and your husband are also going through this. As long as there is life, there is hope. And my hope for you is that things dramatically change for the better for your husband. And you are right, it gives me comfort to know that Mike is no longer suffering and is in a far better place. Peace and hugs.

    Not that far
    Absolutely. My parents took us up that way a lot as kids to visit relatives. Also, we take a trip to Elk Mt. near the end of the ski season every year; a ritual. I'm not sure if that will happen this year though.
