My dear, dear 89 year old husband’s short term memory is gone and his mobility is highly compromised, but also like your wonderful husband, his loving personality and even humor remains the same. It must give you great comfort to know he was not fearful as his passing gently came to him.
What I can’t yet imagine is your grief, though it does sound like you may have enough of his ‘I love you’s’ to last the rest of your life.

My heart is with you, dear SleeplessinSoCal. Please DM me anytime you want a friendly ear.
