I am sorry for your loss. I understand about company. John was good up to the last 2 days. Our kids and grandkids wanted to be there for him and me. If they stayed too long, it wore us out and we didn't want the grandkids to see their Grandpa hooked up to the feeding tube and all that. But we didn't know how to say no. I would be upset after they left, but I'm glad now that we didn't limit their visits. And no one else stayed too long.
It has been just 5 weeks. I have a really good picture of John where I can see it. Vegging is good. I'm keeping an eye on myself, as you say. I appreciate hearing that it is ok to ignore the phone. Thank you.

My heart goes out to you at this time. It must be a huge adjustment and very painful!

May tomorrow's path to peace be more clearly marked and have fewer obstacles than today.
