Hello to everyone. It has been approx six weeks since my husband Richard passed away. It has a very, very busy time and I have not been able to really process him being gone. I still feel as if he is just away, aor at the hospital for a procedure. Our amazing daughter, Hannah posted a few weeks ago. I believe this has given her some comfort. Ric fought extremely hard for three long years. He never knew what stage he was in and didn’t care. I handled all the appointments, doctors, medicines, treatments and everything else, he took care of himself and his body. We worked so hard and for awhile there he was functioning quite well. But, unfortunately, the illness over came him and his body could no longer fight. At first, I questioned some of the decisions we made, but now believe everything Ric and I decided on regarding treatments and care were absolutely correct. We were married for 25 years and have been together for 31 total years. I cannot describe how much I miss him and what a void my life is. My nights and weekends are very hard, but having our children – Tyler, 20 and Hannah,14 around, help to make this this transition a little better. Ric has always been a fighter, and we have taught our kids to be strong and independent. I believe this will help me, in time heal. Thank you for all of your thoughts and support
