7/16 update on my husband

gidgetgh — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 01:09:41 GMT

My husband passed away late this afternoon. I can't believe I just typed those words.

These last 4 weeks have been hideous, with each day trying to outdo the day before from a horror standpoint.

My husband is now at peace. As for me, I am going to need some intense rest. This has all been too much for me. Without trying to sound too eye rolling dramatic, I'm surprised I survived it. And in the middle of a pandemic. Cherry on top additional stress.

My husband will be cremated and we will have a very small, brief graveside service at some point, once I feel I can handle it. I meet with the funeral home tomorrow.

I want to thank the kind words of support I received here. It meant more to me than I could adequately articulate.
