Dearest Denise- I pray that God will put his hands on you and bless you with comfort, courage, and peace! You have been through so much! Such a whirlwind of fighting to help Joe! Now you can BOTH rest! Now comes the whirlwind of emotions. I felt grief, then relief, then anger, and then guilt for feeling relieved. It’s all normal! There is no time frame for your feelings or your grief. We don’t “Get over” our loved ones or their passing, we just eventually, in our own time, move forward. Don’t be afraid to laugh! Remember good times, silly times, etc. It’s also okay to cry! Both of these are releases that you need for your mental health! Well meaning people may say incredibly stupid or even hurtful comments, but not on purpose. If they haven’t been through it they don’t truly understand and are just trying to help you. God has Joe! He has YOU too! Take your time, and take care of yourself now. Don’t feel guilty for doing something YOU enjoy! Pamper yourself a bit. You’re going to be okay! Prayers for YOU and your family🙏❤️ Cindy

Thank you for your kind response. The emotions you mentioned are spot on. I am grieving but at the same time I do feel relief. Then I feel quilty for feeling relieved, just as you said. I am glad that he is no longer in pain or suffering. My family and friends have been such a blessing and great support. Yes, it will take awhile because I am just feeling numb. My two dogs won't leave my side. I know that they understand something is different. But they are a great comfort, also. I don't know how I would have handled this if it hadn't been for hospice. They gave him the care I could not give him at home. I appreciate your prayers. They help. Thank you,
