giving you what you need, even if you don't think you will need anything. I hope you have close friends you can depend on to talk this through later, you will likely need that even though at this point it may not seem you will. No regrets but just to process the loss.

I am so happy you have this ability. I would love to know it would be available for me when/if I need it. She will peacefully sleep but do not try to tough it out. I don't think you will but I don't know you. It is always harder to be in your shoes no matter how good it is to be able to do things this way.

I will be thinking of the both of you on Tuesday. Your wife, at least in the support, is a very lucky woman. Most of us would never have that support.
