Thank you all for your kind words. It helps to know I’m not alone and you know how I feel. Day by day I’m doing the best I can .

My husband died from pulmonary fibrosis. One of the hardest things was looking at all the oxygen equipment still here once he'd gone. I would love to have it all back here now as long as I can keep taking care of him. I can't believe he is gone for good. I wish this was just a sick joke.

My husband passed away May 21st of this year. He too had COPD and also CHF. Now that I look back on things, I think he knew his time was near. As they say, “I wasn’t ready”.. prayers for you~ I know how hard it is, all the emotions etc. the pain is sometimes unbearable.

Today I feel grateful. Grateful for my dog Blue (Blue Jean Baby Queen, Prettiest girl I've ever seen). Grateful I'm still kickin'. Grateful I'm finally taking responsibility for my health. Grateful I own my home. Grateful for good friends and neighbors who watch over me. Grateful to God for His everlasting love and patience with me. Grateful I survived the 10 years since my wife of 30 years...
