Dear Royall,
I don't know you and didn't know Cathie, but what a touching post. Cancer took away someone very close to me and although it's never fair to say that I could know what you're going through, at least I have some idea. I am truly sorry for your loss and understand your feelings that Cathie no longer feels pain. It is this outlook on life and death that will help you through this very difficult time.
It was so touching to see that you took the time during such an emotional period to write about how the hospice and the nurse took care of both you and Cathie. That touched a nerve with me and I have a tear or two to wipe away. You are clearly a very special person and Cathie was fortunate to be with you when her time finally arrived.
I hope you will be able to take comfort in the company of family and friends surrounding you, and I will be thinking of you as well.
A toast to Cathie.
Tom
