    • About Me

      Rob & I were married for 25 yrs & we have quadruplets. I've been so blessed by my children. I'm a nurse who works full-time in a geriatric psych unit. I am a Christian & an ordained minister in my church. I have been a Hospice nurse in the past & an ICU nurse. My only sister died 5 yrs ago & that was really terrible but nothing prepared me for the grief & total lost feeling after Rob's passing.

      Rob died after being a bad diabetic for 16 yrs. When I say 'bad' I mean he ignored the disease. He ended up w/so many complications from the DM. He eventually had his 2nd heart attack & they couldn't do anything in the cath lab. He was on a balloon pump & a ventillator & finally we had to withdraw treatment. That is a horribly hard thing to do but he had no hope & wouldn't have wanted to linger on in the state he was in. I still feel haunted by my decission. As though I caused his death.

      Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
      I've gone to see a bereavement counselor from a Hospice organization I used to work for. She is wonderful & I don't think I would be as well as I am if she wasn't helping me.
