One month ago today, my dear friend AndyS died. [View all]

I am glad this month is gone. It has given me space from Andy's death. I look back at that and I am relieved that my sorrow seems to have abated.

He is definitely at peace, and he needed to be. Until he got into hospice, he'd been in a lot of pain. Hospice took care of that.

Now I can more readily see the good things and times that we shared. I am honored that he cared deeply for me, as I did for him.

I now have hope that the road forward will show me more of the goodness we shared, and less of the painful loss that his death brought me.
