Yes - trooping and trudging the road of happy destiny, I have experienced intense loneliness with health issues - understood little by most. I did not mention specifically in original post I that lost my husband to CANCER almost 8 years ago. I saw first-hand how the AMA works on behalf of the AMA, NOT people. My family was in denial even then, but on a level denial is there for our protection. I cannot afford to kid myself about anything now . . .
Thanks for acknowledging the most difficult aspect of all this and keep on trooping and trudging yourself !!!
