I forgot to mention that Cliffskat is good people and she can be such a great source of understanding and support. I can't even begin to tell you how much she has helped me through my journey of grief.

Hi. I just wanted to give you to a HUG and let you know that I understand about losing a spouse to AML. This is a good site and I hope you do not leave. It has helped me immensely.

Sorry, the date was 8/24/07. Dates don't really matter. It seems like it happened yesterday.

I understand how difficult itis to be the caregiver of your loved one. I was my husband's until his death on 8/24/08. Being a caregiver, I think exposes you to two kinds of grieving. Anticipatory and the grief from the death. I think it is so much worse because it lasts much longer than losing a loved one quickly, unexpecetdly. I don't mean to start a war here, but IMO, it's harder to begin grieving your loved one while they are alive knowing that they can be gone from you anytime. It keeps your nerves stretched tight, not to mention the physical exhaustion of taking care of the sick one. Add children (which I didn't have) to the mix, and you are on the verge of losing your mind.
