My friend, I definitely appreciate it. I might take you up on that offer.

Did you feel... ready for it? Like, I feel like I'm ready for it. I'm at peace with it and in many ways looking forward to being able to enter the next phase of my life. I'm not "happy", but more like I am ready to no longer be a care giver to a horribly sick wife.

My situation was different. It was thrust on me. I didn't have the prep time you've had. Yes my wife was in a shitty situation where privately I thought death was better for her than laying in that bed 24/7. When I was presented with it so suddenly it crushed me. You know how you see in Hollywood where the characters drop to the floor crying or wailing and you think "now that's a bit much isn't it?" Well it happened after she left with the funeral home director. I understand your desire to be out of the caretaker role and back to your old life but once it's gone you don't know what to do with yourself. I should've really started plowing through my video game back log but I just watched TV and ready to get up to help her knowing it was never coming. Getting out of that head space is harder than you think. You'll probably stop sleeping in your bedroom. I let my son have my wife's bedroom, the master bedroom btw, because that's where it all happened and I just couldn't be in there. I hope I answered your questions. I did kinda wall of text here. I hope you two make your remaining time the best ever and she goes out happy and feeling completely and truly loved. Btw how did that tattoo design come out? I kinda lost track of that one.
