Sorry for your loss. It's not easy to lose a loved one, and after having to deal with that twice the past couple years, I'd like to share a joke that my uncle used to tell me that I remember fondly, as he was a guy who never took life too seriously, even when he was suffering. He would never let anyone know that he was sick. He would sit me on his lap when I was like 10 and say "There are three kinds of turds in this world. Custard, Mustard, and you." (keep in mind this was only directed at me, and our family doesn't really take things seriously, and we have a dark sense of humor in private). Replace the spelling for the obvious spelling. He passed in January. Interestingly enough, he got his family all in for one last Christmas, and the moment they left, turned to his wife and said to her "I think I'm ready to be put into Hospice Care". He was brought there, and that very same night he passed away from full organ failure. We thought he would be gone in a few days, not as soon as it happened.

Luckily she seems to be doing really well. She keeps busy, which seems to be her coping mechanism. I hope you take some time to grieve, and then find your coping mechanism. Whatever that may be.

Stay well friend.
