Thank you for sharing with me. Our stories are so familiar. My husband needed a liver. Sometimes the pain is so intense i can't breath! even tho it was sept that he left, like you, was just yesterday. He was home the whole time. Oh he was in and out of hospitals for several years, but, last Christmas was when they told us we needed to call Hospice. You know, i don't remember last Christmas, or even the last three years. My girls having been filling me in. Youngest daughter and her 3 kids live with me, so, we've had each other. But, neither of us want to leave the house. It just does'nt feel right, you know ? All i remember is him, taking care of him. Then as time went on, he started losing it mentally, and the last couple of days before he left, he would'nt let mee hold him or touch him. That was unbearable! Like you today is no better. I still have everything the way it was. Have'nt even started on the closet yet.

Patricia, I'm very sorry for your loss.  It is hard at any time, but I'm sure it feels even harder at this time of year.  Don't be surprised at the emotions you are going through.  They are normal.  You learn to accept them as part of your new way of living.  We are all in this and learning a new way to live.  I pray you will find some comfort in good memories.  Blessings & hugs, Ann
