You are not alone. I just found out yesterday that the husband of a family member died. He'd been sick with cancer for over a year but did not want anyone to know. This man was in his fifties.

When one of my 2 lifelong friends was dying, I went across country to visit her. It was a sad visit but I am so happy that I did, because it meant so much to her. I am really happy for you that you were able to spend time with your friend!
