She was in declining health for several years. About two weeks ago, her blood sugar crashed(she was a diabetic) and yo-yoed up and down for two days. When it stabilized, she was foggy and unwilling to eat or drink. I finally persuaded her to go to the hospital but over the week she was there, she had, essentially, a whole system shutdown.
Yesterday, I honored her wish to not be kept alive by machine.
We had over 37 years of good(with a few rocky patches) times.
I’ll miss you, honey.

Sad to learn of this RC. Take care of yourself. I don’t know what it is like to lose a spouse.
Thanks, everyone. The past year has been especially rough as her decline accelerated.
Even when you know it’s coming, it hurts.
My heart is breaking for you.
