Denise, my heart goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. It’s evident that Joe was surrounded by love and care in his final moments, not just from the wonderful nurses at Good Samaritan House but from you, his devoted wife, and your family.
The time you spent together, even during the challenges, reflects the love you both shared. Though you didn’t get to say that final goodbye in person, I hope you find comfort in knowing that Joe felt your love and presence always. His passing peacefully and with dignity is a testament to the care and compassion he received and to the strength of your bond.
Grief has no timeline, and it’s okay to take all the time you need. Lean on the memories, the support of your loved ones, and your faith as you navigate this journey. Please be gentle with yourself, and remember you’re not alone in this—so many people care about you and want to see you find peace in time.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers, Denise. May you find moments of solace in the coming days, and may Joe’s memory be a blessing always. 🌹

Thank you so much for your kind message. Yes, it has been a difficult time and learning to live alone is hard. I cant remember the last time I lived alone. Maybe I never did. Always had the kids or Joe around. I do have two dogs and they keep me company. But everytime I walk into my living room, I expect to see him sitting in his recliner. Now I sit in the recliner but I am going to have to get a new one. It just does not feel right for me to sit in it. It is old anyways. Finally got my thank you cards out today. Tomorrow it will be 3 weeks since he passed. It seems as if I have no energy left to do anything. HOpefully this will pass eventually. I know it takes time, so I need to be patient. But what makes me happy are posts like yours. It is so nice to know that total strangers take the time to respond with such kind words and prayers. Thank you so much.
