My wife died on 10 June last year. I haven't posted about it till now. I guess because it's the anniversary month. A horrible 31 month battle with gastric cancer. I lay beside her for 10 days in Hospice Care. We were married 40 years.

The only thing I've learned is that I used to say I wish I would have gone first. Don't be the one left.

Now, I say I'm glad I didn’t go 1st. There is no chance in hell I would have wanted her to experience the last 12 months.

I want to thank the DU community because it has been the primary source of connection for me during this year. And remains so today.

Peace and strength to all those who are grieving.
