I am a 62 year old widow who lives in Florida.  I have been married and divorced with four adult children coming from that marriage.  Twenty-one years ago I married an indescribably wonderful man who died on March 2, 2008.  Although he was quite a bit older than I am, until about 2 years ago he had more energy and did more than I ever did.  I am very active, so it is saying a lot when I say that I couldn’t keep up with him.  Therefore, it was a huge shock to both of us when he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.  His diagnosis came 3 months after my mother’s totally unexpected death (she also was incredibly active and left a calendar full of things to do when she died.)  I was and still am dealing with losing her.  I also ache for my children who have lost 4 grandparents and a stepfather in the past 4 years.  More on that in another post
