My dear wife died on October 8, 2000, after battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for over 6 years. I am blessed with 3 wonderful daughters (ages 12, 10, 8) and many wonderful memories. Although the kids and I miss her dearly, I feel some relief that she is now at peace. Our struggle dealing with the disease and the associated costs to both our finances and our emotions was pretty horrific. Even though I have lost her, I don't miss the constant struggle, and this provides me some happiness. Have others experienced this kind of relief/happiness? I have a strong faith which I believe has helped me through all this as well. Can someone provide details of when the Wednesday Support groups meet in Seattle? Thanks for reading this and God bless you.
