AT LAST, THE WORDS HAVE RETURNED

I realize it's been quite some time since my last newsletter. Those of you who read my previous letter are aware that my husband of 34 years passed away. The journey through grief was challenging, and I deeply desired to share my experience, especially the painful moments when Andy repeatedly pleaded with me to end his suffering. I yearned to assist him, but I simply couldn't.

Quotes by Susan Clayton-Goldner (?)

“When he looked at Brandy, he saw the desperation in her eyes. He felt like hugging her and telling her what a great sister she was to Emily. Instead, he tried to harden his features, put far more bravado in his words than he felt. “Now get out of here. I’ve got work to do.” *”
― Susan Clayton-Goldner, When Time Is a River
