Remembering my Husband

My husband passed away on Jan 20th 2011. Very aggressive Lung Cancer, we were officially diagnosed in Oct 2010.  We had a very intense 3 year soulmate lovestory journey. We both knew that we were put in each others lives for a reason, he gave me a freedom I never knew before and a chance to travel the US and I was here to walk him through his final journey. No regrets.............I am very grateful for this forum and hospice for giving us a great ending.  He was able to die at home comfortably.…See More

Hey Tam-  I sent you a friend request because I wanted to ask you a few questions about your hospice experience (and I cant message you without sending a friend request), if you're up to it.  And if not I completely understand.  Hope you're hanging in there.
