I feel your pain as I lost my beloved wife to this insidious disease almost 10 years ago. Be relieved as death can become a friend when one suffers as long as Carla has. Think of how blessed you were to have her in your life as long as you did, rather than focus solely at the loss. That is how I managed to work through the grieving process. Celebrate her life!
