The ugly side of this - that I'm here, and Joe's gone. I felt like this when he the cancer was just bringing him down, day by day. I was healthy, and he was dying. I couldn't wrap my head around it. My therapist had something to say about this, months and months ago. He said, "Marsha, you didn't get away with anything - we're all meet our ends". Made me laugh, then, because obviously, it's so true. So why, sometimes, does this feeling bring me up short? So what IS the damn meaning of life?? I ponder this on a daily basis.

Survivor's guilt - oh yes. But the meaning of life - I have no idea any more.
Hang in there Marsha,
Love and hugs, Angela

Marsha: I think we all have guilt trips which is normal but at the same time there was nothing we could have done. We did our best but it was there time to go meet God and nothing could have stopped it. I have asked myself why did Carlos have to die and why did this happen to him and no matter what I did it was his time to go. I have cried myself to sleep feeling guilty that I could have done more but believe me there was nothing that could have prevented it from happening. Just know that they are with God and they are looking down on us and are now our guardian angels. God bless you and lots of hugs Linda
